Official title: The Effect of Dexmedetomidine During Opioid Free Anesthesia on Postoperative Recovery After Gastrectomy : A Randomized Controlled Trial

"Want to know the effect of dexmedetomidine during opioid free anesthesia on postoperative recovery after gastrectomy. Patients undergoing open gastrectomy are divided into dexmedetomidine group and control(remifentanil) group, administered during surgery, and compared with the speed of postoperative intestinal function recovery. Based on our institution's previous record, the average recovery time was 6 ± 1.4 days. Given that it is clinically significant to reduce recovery time by 20%, Alpha 0.05 and Power 80% require 31 samples per group, and assuming a 10% dropout rate, the total number of samples needed is 68.Subjects are patients aged 19 to 75 who are subject to open gastretomy planned by a gastric cancer. The exclusion criteria include American Society of Anesthesiology grade 3 or higher, patients who have previously been treated for cancer, patients with cancer other than the stomach, patients with drug allergies, weight less than 60kg, BMI > 30 kg/m2, patients who are unable to communicate and are unable to read consent (e.g., illiteracy, foreigners, etc.). The research method is a Randomized double-blind controlled study, and the assignment of both drugs is unknown and is used to maintain anesthesia in the form of continuous injection during surgery. Primary outcome is the recovery period satisfying the following. 1)intestinal gas passage 2) tolerance of soft bland diet (SBD) for 24 hr. 3) safe ambulation without assistance 4) no requirement iv analgesics after discontinuation of PCA (VAS <4). 5) no abnormal physical signs or laboratory test. The secondary outcomes are maximum VAS, post-operative hospital stay, complications and readmission rate at 3 months F/U time, post-operative period analgesic requirement, incidence of opioid related side effect.

What participants receive

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

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    The prepared drug marks the assigned group as unknown. In both groups, the test drug marked as unknown begins to be administered in an anesthetic induction. When the patient arrives in the operating room, electrocardiogram, noninvasive blood pressure, and bispectral index (BIS) monitoring is performed. In both groups, 2 mg/kg of propofol induces general anesthesia, intubates after administration of rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg, and maintains anesthesia with sevoflurane 1.5-2.5 vol%. Use 0.075 mg of palonosetrone as an antiemetics after inducing anesthesia. Adjust the inhalation anesthetic to maintain BIS 40-60 , mechanical ventilation to maintain the Tidal volume of 8 ml/kg, PEEP 5 mmHg and end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) of 35-40 mmHg. Push 1mcg of fentanyl and 1g of acetaminophen per kg for pain control 20 minutes before the end of surgery.

  • RemifentanilDrug

    The prepared drug marks the assigned group as unknown. In both groups, the test drug marked as unknown begins to be administered in an anesthetic induction. When the patient arrives in the operating room, electrocardiogram, noninvasive blood pressure, and bispectral index (BIS) monitoring is performed. In both groups, 2 mg/kg of propofol induces general anesthesia, intubates after administration of rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg, and maintains anesthesia with sevoflurane 1.5-2.5 vol%. Use 0.075 mg of palonosetrone as an antiemetics after inducing anesthesia. Adjust the inhalation anesthetic to maintain BIS 40-60 , mechanical ventilation to maintain the Tidal volume of 8 ml/kg, PEEP 5 mmHg and end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) of 35-40 mmHg. Push 1mcg of fentanyl and 1g of acetaminophen per kg for pain control 20 minutes before the end of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2022. 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 South Korea. 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?

postoperative recovery time (time frame: 3 months). 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 23 Jun 2022.
