About this study

Official title: Monitored Anesthesia Care: Dexmedetomidine-Ketamine Versus Dexmedetomidine- Propofol Combination During Burr-Hole Surgery For Chronic Subdural Hematoma

Inadequate sedation and analgesia indicated by intraoperative movements are markers of inadequate MAC during burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation especially when general anesthesia poses high risk for the patients.

Dexmedetomidine, ketamine, propofol intravenous infusion and other agents was used to provide monitored anesthesia care with variable success if used as solitary agents as each drug has its limited use.

Read the detailed description
  • Null hypothesis (H0): There are no differences between the effects of dexmedetomidine- ketamine and dexmedetomidine- propofol combination for monitored anesthesia care during burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation.
  • Alternative hypothesis (H1): There are differences between the effects of dexmedetomidine- ketamine and dexmedetomidine- propofol combination for monitored anesthesia care during burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation.
Being tested
dexmedetomidine- ketamine, dexmedetomidine- propofol

What participants receive

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

  • dexmedetomidine- ketamineDrug

    Also called precedex- katalar

    patients will receive combination of ketamine 1mg/kg and dexmedetomidine 1ug/kg diluted in 10 ml 0.9% saline infused over 10 min together as an intravenous bolus dose then a maintenance of 0.5ug/kg/h dexmedetomidine and ketamine 0.5 mg/kg/h continuous infusion in two separate syringes pump to achieve modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and sedation score (OAA/S) 3 and the infusion will stopped by finishing the skin suture.

  • dexmedetomidine- propofolDrug

    Also called precedex- diprivan

    patients will receive combination from 0.5 mg/kg propofol and dexmedetomidine 1ug/kg diluted in 10 ml 0.9% saline infused over 10 min together as an intravenous bolus dose then a maintenance of 0.5ug/kg/h dexmedetomidine and propofol 0.5 mg/kg/h continuous infusion in two separate syringes pump to achieve modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and sedation score (OAA/S) 3 and the infusion will stopped by finishing the skin suture.

What is being measured

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

  1. The onset time of sedation

    The onset of sedation will be recorded. It is defined as the time from injection of sedative medications till reaching a target sedation level score 3 by modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and sedation score (OAA/S).

    Measured: with in 30 minutes before start of surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The extent of airway obstruction

    The extent of airway obstruction by (1= patent airway, 2= airway obstruction alleviated by jaw thrust, 3= airway obstruction alleviated by positive mask ventilation)

    Measured: intraopertive

  2. rescue analgesic (fentanyl)

    Total number of calling intraoperative rescue analgesic (fentanyl) in both groups will be recorded.

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. number of participant with complications

    Intraoperative complications such as hypotension (mean arterial blood pressure decreases by > 20% of basal reading), bradycardia (HR decreases by > 20% of basal reading) and bradypnea (RR less than 10 b/m) or hypoxemia (SpO2 less than 95%

    Measured: intraoperative

  4. Recovery time

    Recovery time: time from discontinuation of infusion drugs till spontaneous eye opening.

    Measured: with in one hour postoperative

  5. The Neurological status of participants

    The Neurological status of participants will be assessed before discharge in the PACU using Markwalder's Neurological Grading scale (MNGs) and recorded:

    Grade 0: no neurologic deficit Grade I: mild symptoms such as headache; absent or mild neurologic deficits such as reflex asymmetry Grade II: drowsiness or disorientation with variable neurologic deficits such as hemiparesis Grade III: stupor, but appropriate responses to noxious stimuli; severe focal signs such as hemiplegia Grade IV: coma with absence of motor response to painful stimuli; decerebrate or decorticate posturing.

    Measured: at baseline then within one hour postoperative

  6. surgeon satisfaction

    surgeon satisfaction using 7- point Likert-like verbal rating scale by asking about how they evaluate their experience with anesthetic management during surgery?" score will be 6 and 7 if they are satisfied.5=very satisfied, 4=satisfied, 3= neutral, 2= unsatisfied and 1= very unsatisfied.

    Measured: with in 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing dexmedetomidine- ketamine and dexmedetomidine- propofol in people with Conscious Sedation, run by Zagazig University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 17 Oct 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 Egypt. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

The onset time of sedation (time frame: with in 30 minutes before start of surgery). 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 17 Oct 2023.
