About this study

Official title: Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter During Laparoscopic Anterior Resection

Dexmedetomidine, might attenuate the sympathetic activation and contribute to stable hemodynamics. The investigator hypothesized that continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery, might help to attenuate the increment of intracranial pressure and the investigator would observe the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasonography.

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery requires the Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum for a prolonged time, but this can cause significant increase in intracranial pressure. Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha2 receptor agonist might attenuate the sympathetic activation and contribute to stable hemodynamics. The investigator hypothesized that continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery, might help to attenuate the increment of intracranial pressure and the investigator would observe the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasonography.

  • normal salineDrug

    Also called NS

    infusion of normal saline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine and normal saline in people with Intracranial Hypertension, run by Gachon University Gil Medical Center.

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 4 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Optic nerve sheath diameter (time frame: Change from Baseline optic nerve sheath diameter at pneumoperitoneum 30 min). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Nov 2016.
