About this study

Official title: The Effect of Sevoflurane-dexmedetomidine and Sevoflurane-remifentanil on Biochemical Markers During Open Heart Surgery

The aim of this study was to investigate the myocardial protective effects of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine in cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

Fifty patients is included in this study. Routine monitorization included a 5-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), invasive arterial monitoring, pulse oximetry, capnography, temperature monitoring. Invasive arterial catheter were inserted under local anesthesia. Central venous catheter (jugular or subclavian) and esophageal heat probe were inserted after tracheal intubation.

Anesthesia induction was standardized in all patients and included 1 mg/kg propofol, 1 μg/kg fentanyl and 0.1 mg/kg vecuronium bromus to facilitate endotracheal intubation. The patients were divided into two groups by computer randomization method. Group R (n=25), remifentanil group and Group D (n=25) dexmedetomidine group. In the remifentanil group, anesthesia was maintained with 0.5-1.5% sevoflurane and 0.125-0.25 μg/kg/min remifentanil infusion. In the dexmedetomidine group anesthesia was maintained with 0.5-1.5% sevoflurane and 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine loading dose during 10 minute and 0.3-0.9 μg/kg/min infusion.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) period was started after aort and venous cannulae were inserted. Mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, venous oxygen saturation (SVO2) and arterial blood gase analysis were recorded. All blood samples include laktat, pyruvate, CKMB and Troponin-T were taken via the coronary sinus catheter at specific time intervals (precardiopulmonary bypass, 20 minutes after cross clamp, 20 minutes after removal cross clamp and 10 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass).

Cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross clamping time, the need of defibrillation/intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP)/extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO), urine output, positive inotropic agents requirement were recorded. At the end of surgery, the patients were transferred intensive care unit intubated and full monitorized.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. level of laktat

    Measured: at 20 minutes after cross clamp, 20 minutes after removal cross clamp and 10 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

  2. Level of pyruvate

    Measured: at 20 minutes after cross clamp, 20 minutes after removal cross clamp and 10 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

  3. level of CKMB

    Measured: at 20 minutes after cross clamp, 20 minutes after removal cross clamp, 10 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

  4. level of Troponin-T

    Measured: at 20 minutes after cross clamp, 20 minutes after removal cross clamp, 10 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Remifentanil, Dexmedetomidine and Sevoflurane in people with Myocardial Ischemic Reperfusion Injury, run by Cukurova University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

level of laktat (time frame: at 20 minutes after cross clamp, 20 minutes after removal cross clamp and 10 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02405689, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2015.
