About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine in Painless Colonoscopy: a Single-center, Randomized Study

104 patients who undergo painless colonoscopy from Decemenber 1,2019 to June 30,2022 will be randomized to two groups: propofol group and dexmedetomidine group.

In the dexmedetomidine group,dexmedetomidine was infusion intravenously with a loading dose of 0.5 μg kg-1 for 10 min, then infusion at 0.3 μg kg-1 h-1 according to the ideal body weight of the patient until the end of colonoscopy. In the propofol group, Propofol was administrated 1 mg kg-1 intravenously, then titrated given by 0.5 mg kg-1 during the whole process.

104 patients who undergo painless colonoscopy from Decemenber 1,2019 to June 30,2022 will be randomized to two groups: propofol group and dexmedetomidine group.

In the dexmedetomidine group,dexmedetomidine was infusion intravenously with a loading dose of 0.5 μg kg-1 for 10 min, then infusion at 0.3 μg kg-1 h-1 according to the ideal body weight of the patient until the end of colonoscopy. In the propofol group, Propofol was administrated 1 mg kg-1 intravenously, then titrated given by 0.5 mg kg-1.For all patients, if Ramsay sedation scale score reached 3, colonoscope was inserted. During the whole process, maintenance Ramsay score of 3 to 4. Propofol 10 mg was administrated as the rescue dose if body movement occurred during colonoscopy

The primary outcome was the occurrence of hypotension. Secondary outcomes included the followings:(1) the duration and the maximum decreasing in BP. The time-weighted average which is measured by calculating the area under the threshold (AUT) divided by the total duration of colonoscopy. AUT = (depth of hypotension below a 20% decrease in systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure from pre-procedure baseline or SBP of 90 mm Hg or DBP of 50 mm Hg× time in minutes spent of hypotension); (2) the incidence of bradycardia and hypoxemia, mask-assisted ventilation and body movement;(3) the discharge time , patients and endoscopists satisfaction score.

  • Dexmedetomidine groupDrug

    Also called Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride group

    In the dexmedetomidine group, dexmedetomidine was infusion intravenously with a loading dose of 0.5 μg kg-1 for 10 min, then infusion at 0.3 μg kg-1 h-1 according to the ideal body weight of the patient until the end of colonoscopy. If Ramsay sedation scale score reached 3, colonoscope was inserted. During the whole process, maintenance Ramsay score of 3 to 4. Propofol 10 mg was administrated as the rescue dose if body movement occurred during colonoscopy. In the propofol group, propofol was administrated 1 mg kg-1 intravenously, then titrated given by 0.5 mg kg-1 until Ramsay score reached 3. During the whole process, propofol was given intermittently to maintain Ramsay score 3 to 4. If body movement happened, propofol 10mg was administrated every time.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome is the occurrence of hypotension

    Hypotension is defined as a 20% decrease in systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure from pre-procedure baseline, systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg, and/or diastolic blood pressure < 50 mmHg

    Measured: The time during gastroscopy, an average of 12 minutes

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. The duration and the maximum decreasing in BP

    The time-weighted average which is measured by calculating the area under the threshold (AUT) divided by the total duration of colonoscopy. AUT = (depth of hypotension below a 20% decrease in systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure from pre-procedure baseline or SBP of 90 mm Hg or DBP of 50 mm Hg× time in minutes spent of hypotension)

    Measured: The time during gastroscopy, an average of 12 minutes

  2. The incidence of bradycardia

    Bradycardia is defined as HR <50 beats/min

    Measured: The time during gastroscopy, an average of 12 minutes

  3. The incidence of hypoxemia

    Hypoxemia is defined as a decrease of SpO2 to <90%

    Measured: The time during gastroscopy, an average of 12 minutes

  4. The incidence of mask-assisted ventilation

    Mask ventilation is performed if the hypoxemia happened

    Measured: The time during gastroscopy, an average of 12 minutes

  5. The incidence of body movement

    Body movement is defined as the twisting of the patient's body due to the stimulation of the endoscopy, making it difficult to proceed with the procedure without additional propofol

    Measured: The time during gastroscopy, an average of 12 minutes

  6. The discharge time

    The discharge time is calculated from the end of colonoscopy to discharge

    Measured: From the end of colonoscopy to discharge,an average of 30 minutes

  7. Patients satisfaction score

    Using an 11-point Likert scale, with 0 indicating "very dissatisfied" and 10 indicating "very satisfied"

    Measured: When the patient is fully awake after colonoscopy,an average of 5 minutes

  8. Endoscopists satisfaction score

    Using an 11-point Likert scale, with 0 indicating "very dissatisfied" and 10 indicating "very satisfied"

    Measured: At the end of colonoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine group in people with Colonoscopy, run by West China Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 29 Sep 2023. 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 China. 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?

The primary outcome is the occurrence of hypotension (time frame: The time during gastroscopy, an average of 12 minutes). 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 29 Sep 2023.
