About this study

Official title: Comparison of Dexmedetomidine and Fentanyl to Prevent Hemodynamic Response to Skull Pins Application in Neurosurgery:Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

To compare the effect between dexmedetomidine and fentanyl for controlling the hemodynamic response to skull pins application

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blinded controlled trial was conducted from September 2015 to September 2016 in Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Sixty patients who underwent craniotomy with insertion of skull pin were randomly allocated into group A and B. After patients entered the operative room, blood pressure and heart rate were measured (T1) then repeated measurement again (T2) when started induction, intubation and infusion dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg over 10 min infusion in group A whereas group B received normal saline. At 3 minutes before skull pin insertion (T3), patient in group B received a single bolus of fentanyl 1 µg/kg whereas group A received normal saline. Then hemodynamic responses were recorded and repeated again at one minute before skull pin insertion (T4). Blood pressure and heart rate were observed at the time of skull pin insertion (T5) then repeated every 1 minutes after skull pin application until 5 minutes (T6 - T10).

What participants receive

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

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    Also called precedex

    Dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg diluted to 20 ml with 0.9% normal saline was administration. If adverse events were occurred, the patient will receive rescue drugs.

  • 0.9% normal salineDrug

    0.9% normal saline was use to dilute the study drugs

  • Skull pinsDevice

    Also called Mayfield

    Skull pins were use to stabilized the patent' s head during surgery

Study groups in NCT03077503
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Dexmedetomidine (Group A)ExperimentalIn induction period, group A received dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg diluted to 20 ml with 0.9% normal saline 10 minute through a syringe pump. Three minutes before application of skull pins, group A received infusion of 2 ml of 0.9% normal saline.
Receives: Drug: Dexmedetomidine; Drug: 0.9% normal saline; Device: Skull pins
Fentanyl (group B)Active comparatorIn induction period, group B received 20ml of 0.9% normal saline.Three minutes before application of skull pins, group B received infusion of fentanyl 1 µg/kg diluted to 2 ml with 0.9% normal saline
Receives: Drug: Fentanyl; Drug: 0.9% normal saline; Device: Skull pins

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in blood pressure

    Blood pressure was recorded by the blinded anesthesiologist

    Measured: Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4) , time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in mean arterial pressure

    Mean arterial pressure was recorded by the blinded anesthesiologist

    Measured: Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4), time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10).

  2. Change in heart rate

    Heart rate was recorded by the blinded anesthesiologist

    Measured: Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4), time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10).

  3. adverse events

    Adverse events were recorded by the blinded anesthesiologist. Rescue drugs were give when adverse events were occurred. Rescue drug include propofol (for hypertension), ephedrine(for hypotension), esmolol (for tachycardia), atropine (for bradycardia)

    Measured: Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4), time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine, Fentanyl and 0.9% normal saline in people with Hemodynamic Response and Skull Pins Application, run by Khon Kaen University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 1 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 20 Aug 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 Thailand. 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?

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?

Change in blood pressure (time frame: Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4) , time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10).). 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 NCT03077503, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Aug 2020.
