About this study

To compare the prognosis of elderly patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer treated with general anesthesia and general anesthesia combined with transversus abdominis plane block and continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine. The incidence of postoperative delirium, postoperative acute pain moderately to severely and poor postoperative recovery were composite endpoints to determine the prognosis of patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Transversus abdominis plane block using ropivacaineProcedure or surgery

    Before anesthesia, the ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominis plane block using 0.25% ropivacaine was perdormed by anesthesiologist who is not involved in intraoperative management and postoperative follow-up and evaluate the effect after the block completed.

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    After finished the transversus abdominis plane block, then perform tracheal intubation and start the infusion of dexmedetomidine.

  • Transversus abdominis plane block using salineProcedure or surgery

    Before anesthesia, the ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominis plane block using saline was perdormed by anesthesiologist who is not involved in intraoperative management and postoperative follow-up and evaluate the effect after the block completed.

  • SalineDrug

    After finished the transversus abdominis plane block, then perform tracheal intubation and start the infusion of saline, dosage and infusion method of saline are consistent with dexmedetomidine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transversus abdominis plane block using ropivacaine, Dexmedetomidine and Transversus abdominis plane block using saline in people with Colorectal Neoplasms and Aged, run by Beijing Tiantan 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 4 inclusion and 2 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The prognosis of aged patients (time frame: Postoperative 72 hours). 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 18 Aug 2020.
