  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The patients included in this study were 65 years or older, were undergoing total hip arthroplasty, and were classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical health class I-IV.

Who cannot join

  • Contraindications to spinal anesthesia (i.e., coagulopathy, concurrent use of anticoagulants, infection at puncture site, and refusal of spinal anesthesia), patients with infectious diseases, patients with mental or language barriers, patients who had been anesthetized within the past 30 days, severe congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association, class IV) and/or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease Guidelines, stages III-IV), sick sinus syndrome, severe sinus bradycardia (< 50 beats per min), and second or greater atrioventricular block without pacemaker.

About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Propofol and Dexmedetomidine on Peripheral Inflammation Induced by Hip or Knee Arthroplasty.

Dexmedetomidine, was reported to prevent postoperative delirium in elderly patients following its use in intensive care units. Possible mechanisms included improved quality of sleep and an inhibitory effect on inflammation. A greater number of studies indicated that propofol has negative effect on postoperative cognitive function. In this study, we planned to investigate the influence of these two different sedative drugs on peripheral inflammation induced by surgery and postoperative cognitive function of patients who will receive hip and knee arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

Dexmedetomidine, was reported to prevent postoperative delirium in elderly patients following its use in intensive care units. Possible mechanisms included improved quality of sleep and an inhibitory effect on inflammation. A greater number of studies indicated that propofol has negative effect on postoperative cognitive function. In this study, patients who will receive hip and knee arthroplasty will be divided to two groups: Propofol group and Dexmedetomidine group. Spinal anesthesia will be used to meet the requirement of intraoperative analgesia. Patients in two groups will be sedated by propofol and dexmedetomidine, respectively. TNF-α and IL-6 in blood will be detected. And postoperative cognitive function of patients will be investigated. The objective of this study is to clarify the influence of these two different sedative drugs on peripheral inflammation induced by surgery, and the relationship with the change of postoperative cognitive function.

What is being measured

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

  1. change of the concentration of IL-6

    Change of the concentration of plasma IL-6 from baseline to the end surgery

    Measured: Preoperative and end of surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative delirium

    The incidence of postoperative delirium

    Measured: Postoperative (1-3 days after surgery)

  2. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction

    The incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction

    Measured: Postoperative (7 and 30 days after surgery)

  3. change of the concentration of TNF-α

    Change of the concentration of plasma TNF-α from baseline to the end surgery

    Measured: Preoperative and end of surgery

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bin Mei, Ph.D (+8613505603810, mb85doc@yeah.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change of the concentration of IL-6 (time frame: Preoperative and end of surgery). 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 NCT03600727, which also lists 2 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?
