Trial summary

Under the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine sedation would result in less upper airway obstruction, we evaluated the occurrence of upper airway collapse or the requirement of airway intervention in patients with obstructive sleep apnea during dexmedetomidine or propofol sedation.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Upper Airway Patency by Dexmedetomidine and Propofol Used for Sedation

Under the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine sedation would result in less upper airway obstruction, we evaluated the occurrence of upper airway collapse or the requirement of airway intervention in patients with obstructive sleep apnea during dexmedetomidine or propofol sedation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    As a loading dose, 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine was administered over 10 min, which was then administered continuously at a dose of 0.2-0.8 μg/kg/h. Sedation was maintained at modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation scale 3

  • PropofolDrug

    Propofol was infused continuously via a target-controlled infusion device, and the effect-site concentration was maintained with a range of 0.5-2.0 μg/ml. Sedation was maintained at modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation scale 3

What is being measured

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

  1. The occurrence of upper airway obstruction

    When end-tidal carbon dioxide was not detected in spite of the respiratory effort during the sedation period, the case will be regarded as the occurrence of upper airway obstruction.

    Measured: During the sedation period, an average of 3 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine and Propofol in people with Anesthesia, Spinal, run by Seoul National University Bundang 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 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

The occurrence of upper airway obstruction (time frame: During the sedation period, an average of 3 hours.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02993718, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
