About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Reducting Effect of Dexmedetomidine on the Morphine Use for Severe Burned Patients

The new progresses relative to sedation-analgesia for resuscitation unit lead to perform a light and cooperative sedation as soon as possible in order to decrease the period of mechanical ventilation. Dexmedetomidine (DEX), which is a central alpha-2 agonist, is the referential hypnotic in this case with a reduction of the morphine-type use.

DEX was mainly studied in the bandage procedures for the burned adult. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reducing effect of DEX on the morphine use in case of severe burnings for adults, to describe the receivers of DEX and to report the procedure of this new molecule.

This study would manage to develop a protocol using dexmedetomidine to reduce the use of morphine for the sedation-analgesia. It expects a sensitization of physicians about the need to form the nurse crew for the autonomous use of a protocol before performing a new evaluation of sedation-analgesia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Global consumption of opioids (including per anesthesia for bandage or surgery) during the patient care period, expressed as intravenous morphine per day equivalent, indexed on the weight (mg.kg-1.j-1).

    mg.kg-1.j-1

    Measured: day 20

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tolerance for dexmedetomidine by hemodynamic

    mm Hg

    Measured: day 20

  2. Efficiency of analgesia

    RASS scale

    Measured: day 20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Burning, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 19 Sep 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 France. 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?

Global consumption of opioids (including per anesthesia for bandage or surgery) during the patient care period, expressed as intravenous morphine per day equivalent, indexed on the weight (mg.kg-1.j-1). (time frame: day 20). 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 19 Sep 2016.
