What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of coughing

    Measured: from end of infusing anesthetics to 2 minutes after extubation, averagely 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Ricker's agitation-sedation score

    Measured: from end of infusing anesthetics to 2 minutes after extubation, averagely 30 minutes

  2. score of coughing

    0=no coughing;1=intermittent coughing;2=continuous coughing

    Measured: from end of infusing anesthetics to 2 minutes after extubation, averagely 30 minutes

  3. time to response to verbal command

    Measured: from end of infusing anesthetics to response to verbal command,averagely 20 minutes

  4. time to extubation

    Measured: from end of infusing anesthetics to extubation,averagely 28 minutes

  5. blood pressure before and after extubation

    Measured: from end of infusing anesthetics to 2 minutes after extubation, averagely 30 minutes

  6. blood glucose before and after aneurysm embolism

    Measured: immediately before inserting coil and after finishing inserting coil,an average of 1 hour

  7. blood lactate before and after aneurysm embolism

    Measured: immediately before inserting coil and after finishing inserting coil,,an average of 1 hour

  8. Mini-mental state examination score

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intravenous dexmedetomidine, nasal dexmedetomidine and intravenous saline in people with Aneurysm Cerebral, run by Zhihong LU 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 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

incidence of coughing (time frame: from end of infusing anesthetics to 2 minutes after extubation, averagely 30 minutes). 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 NCT03355534, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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?
