About this study

Official title: Comparison of Dexmedetomidine and Meperidine for the Prevention of Shivering Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft: Study Protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and meperidine on the incidence of shivering in patients undergoing CABG.

Read the detailed description

Shivering is a common complication in the postoperative period. The incidence of shivering has been reported to range from 5% to 65% under general anesthesia and as 33% during epidural anesthesia. Shivering can increase perioperative risk in patients. Both dexmedetomidine and meperidine are effective agents for the prevention of postanesthetic shivering. However, few studies have compared the anti-shivering effects of different agents following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). This study aims to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and meperidine on the incidence of shivering in patients undergoing CABG.

What participants receive

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

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    Dexmedetomidine would be intravenously infused at a dose of 1μg/kg over 15 minutes 30 min before the end of surgery

  • MeperidineDrug

    Meperidine would be intravenously injected at a dose of 0.5mg/kg 30 min before the end of surgery

  • PlacebDrug

    Equal volume of normal saline to dexmedetomidine and meperidine group.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of postoperative shivering

    The incidence and severity of postoperative shivering and the rescue treatment

    Measured: Within postoperative 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Times of postoperative rescue drugs used

    Measured: Within postoperative 24 hours

  2. The incidence of postoperative hypotension and bradycardia

    Measured: From the administration of experimental drugs to postoperative 24 hours

  3. Ramsay sedation score

    The minimum and maximum score are 1 and 6, respectively. Score 1 represents that patients is anxious and agitated or restless , or both. And score 6 represents that patients exhibits no response.

    Measured: Within postoperative 3 days

  4. Postoperative extubation time

    Measured: The time of extubation

  5. Length of stay in the ICU

    Measured: The length of stay in ICU within postoperative 30 days

  6. The incidence of postoperative delirium

    Measured: Within postoperative 7 days

  7. The incidence of postoperative arrhythmias

    Measured: Within postoperative 24 hours

  8. The incidence and severity of postoperative PONV

    Measured: Within postoperative 3 days

  9. Length of stay

    Measured: The first day after surgery to discharge

  10. The rate of all-cause death of participants

    Measured: Within postoperative 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine, Meperidine and Placeb in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Postoperative Shivering, run by Qianfoshan 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Cuicui Cao (+8615863187590, cccbzyxy@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of postoperative shivering (time frame: Within postoperative 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04735965, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Jan 2022.
