About this study

Official title: The Renal Protective Effect of the Dexmedetomidine in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Dexmedetomidine is a selective α-2 receptor agonist with a sedative and cardiopulmonary profile that makes it an attractive anesthetic for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to investigate the renal protective effect of dexmedetomidine in the perioperative setting in children with heart disease.

Total 144 pediatric patients allocated dexmedetomidine (DEX) and did not receive the drug (NoDEX) group.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the relationship between the use of intraoperative dexmedetomidine and the incidence of acute kidney injury in pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. The secondary objective was to determine whether there was an association between dexmedetomidine use and duration of mechanical ventilation or cardiovascular ICU stay.

What is being measured

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

  1. serum creatinine

    daily check the laboratory parameter.

    Measured: immediate after surgery, until discharge from the ICU, assessed up to 1 week.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. glomerular filtration rate

    daily check the laboratory parameter.

    Measured: immediate after surgery, until discharge from the ICU, assessed up to 1 week.

  2. Urine output

    daily check the laboratory parameter.

    Measured: immediate after surgery, until discharge from the ICU, assessed up to 1 week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine and normal saline in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2020. 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 South Korea. 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.

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?

serum creatinine (time frame: immediate after surgery, until discharge from the ICU, assessed up to 1 week.). 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 28 Jul 2020.
