About this study
Dexmedetomidine has been known to protect the lung against inflammation and oxidative stress in diverse clinical settings. The investigators aimed to investigate the lung protective effect of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest, which is associated with systemic inflammatory response, and oxidative stress.
Read the detailed description
Patients will be divided into 2 groups; dexmedetomidine group and control group. Dexmedetomidine group will receive dexmedetomidine during and after thoracic artery surgery. And control group will receive the same amount of normal saline instead. Analyzing patients lung function and serum factors, which indicates the degree of systemic inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, The investigators will investigate the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on lung.
- Conditions
- Chronic Dissecting Aneurysm of Thoracic Aorta, Chronic Nontraumatic Dissection of Thoracic Aorta, Dissecting Aneurysm of the Thoracic Aorta
- Being tested
- Dexmedetomidine, normal saline
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
DexmedetomidineDrug
Also called precedex
1ug/kg IV loading over 20 minutes followed by 0.5ug/kg/hr IV infusion until 12 hrs of aortic cross clamp off
normal salineDrug
IV loading and infusion of same volume of normal saline after induction until 12 hrs of aortic cross clamp off
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Dexmedetomidine | Experimental | 1ug/kg IV loading over 20 minutes followed by 0.5ug/kg/hr IV infusion until 12hr of aortic cross clamp off Receives: Drug: Dexmedetomidine |
| Normal saline | Placebo comparator | IV loading and infusion of same volume of normal saline after induction until 12hr of aortic cross clamp off Receives: Drug: normal saline |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes of lung oxygenation from baseline to 24 hr after reperfusion
Lung oxygenation will be assessed by arterial blood gas analysis
Measured: after induction of anesthesia / after reperfusion 1hr / after reperfusion 6hr / after reperfusion 12hr / after reperfusion 24hr
Changes of lung compliance from baseline to 24 hr after reperfusion
Lung compliance will be displayed on the ventilator
Measured: after induction of anesthesia / after reperfusion 1hr / after reperfusion 6hr / after reperfusion 12hr / after reperfusion 24hr
