About this study

Official title: The Correlation of Narcotrend Index and OAA/S Scale in Monitoring Sedation Level With Different Doses of Dexmedetomidine

Narcotrend index is a widely used quantitative parameter for evaluating anesthesia and sedation levels.Dexmedetomidine is a novel sedative,providing sedation while patients remain cooperative and can be easily aroused. This study was designed to explore the correlation of Narcotrend index and OAA/S scale in monitoring sedation level with different single- doses of dexmedetomidine intravenously.

Read the detailed description

60 patients,aged 20~60,American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status ⅠorⅡ, scheduled for electively lower limb surgery undergoing combined spinal epidural anesthesia were randomly divided three group. In each group,a bolus of dexmedetomidine was administered intravenously 15 min after spinal anesthesia. The initial dose in group 1, group 2 and group 3 was started from 0.9 µg/kg,1.0 µg/kg and 1.1 µg/kg, respectively. HR、MAP、SpO2、the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation(OAA/S)scale and the corresponding Narcotrend index were recorded at 5-minute intervals until 30 minutes after administration. The relationship between OAA/S scale and Narcotrend index was analyzed by a Spearman analysis. The cutoff values of Narcotrend index for OAA/S≤2 were obtained by analysis of receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC).

What is being measured

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

  1. the correlation coefficient between OAA/S scale and Narcotrend index in group 1

    This study was designed to explore the correlation of Narcotrend index and OAA/S scale in monitoring sedation level with different single- doses of 0.9 μg/kg dexmedetomidine intravenously.

    Measured: at 5-minute intervals until 30 minutes after administration

  2. the correlation coefficient between OAA/S scale and Narcotrend index in group 2

    This study was designed to explore the correlation of Narcotrend index and OAA/S scale in monitoring sedation level with different single- doses of 1.0 μg/kg dexmedetomidine intravenously.

    Measured: at 5-minute intervals until 30 minutes after administration

  3. the correlation coefficient between OAA/S scale and Narcotrend index in group 3

    This study was designed to explore the correlation of Narcotrend index and OAA/S scale in monitoring sedation level with different single- doses of 1.1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine intravenously.

    Measured: at 5-minute intervals until 30 minutes after administration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The calculated cutoff values for OAA/S≤ 2

    Measured: at 5-minute intervals until 30 minutes after administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with Anesthesia, run by Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2016. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact bo Xu (88653387 ext. 020, xubo333@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the correlation coefficient between OAA/S scale and Narcotrend index in group 1 (time frame: at 5-minute intervals until 30 minutes after administration). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Aug 2016.
