About this study

Studies showed dexmedetomidine (DEX) could improve surgical field, but the effect for functional nasal endoscopic surgery (FESS) was unclear. The investigators explored IV administration of a single loading dose DEX (0.5μg/kg) for FESS, and IV administration of midazolam (0.05mg/kg) as a control with comparision of surgical field, haemodynamics, ventilation parameters and recovery.

Read the detailed description

The participants received an induction of anesthesia with propofol 2-3 mg/kg, sufentanyl 0.2 μg/kg, and rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg, and then insertion of a flexible laryngeal mask airway was conducted using the index finger insertion technique by anesthesia providers with a minimum of four years endotracheal intubation experience. Mechanical ventilation parameters were as follows: pressure-controlled ventilation mode, ventilation pressure: 12, respiratory rate: 12, oxygen concentration: 50%. The maintenance of general anesthesia was performed with sevoflurane at minimum alveolar concentration of 1.3. After induction, a single loading dose DEX (0.5μg/kg) was IV infusion within 10 minutes, or IV administration of midazolam (0.05mg/kg). Heart rate, blood pressure, tidal volume, ventilation pressure and ETCO2 after insertion of a LMA, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes after drug infusion and transferred to PACU, besides heart rate and blood pressure were recorded before and after induction. Surgical field was evaluated at the time of 10 minutes and 20 minutes after drug infusion. Blood gas analysis was performed just transferred to PACU and before transferred to ward.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of surgical field according to the scale reported by Boezaart A.P. in the two groups

    Levels of the scale reported by Boezaart A.P. as follows:

    1. No bleeding.
    2. Slight bleeding - no suctioning of blood required.
    3. Slight bleeding - occasional suctioning required. Surgical field not threatened.
    4. Slight bleeding - frequent suctioning required. Bleeding threatens surgical field a few seconds after suction is removed.
    5. Moderate bleeding - frequent suctioning required. Bleeding threatens surgical field directly after suction is removed.
    6. Severe bleeding - constant suctioning required. Bleeding appears faster than can be removed by suction. Surgical field severely threatened and surgery not possible.

    Evaluation of surgical field was carried out by Kruskal-Wallis H test.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparision of heart rate and mean blood pressure during anesthesia in the two groups

    Heart rate (beats/minutes) and mean blood pressure (mmHg) were recorded every 10 minutes, and analyzed with Student's t-test

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Comparision of recovery time and blood gas analysis in PACU in the two groups

    Recovery time (minutes) included from entering to leaving PACU, and blood gas analysis just before leaving PACU

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing IV administration of DEX to investigate the effects for functional nasal endoscopic surgery and IV administration of Midazolam to investigate the effects for functional nasal endoscopic surgery in people with Dexmedetomidine and Bleeding, run by Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University 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 2 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 16 Mar 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Evaluation of surgical field according to the scale reported by Boezaart A.P. in the two groups (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 16 Mar 2020.
