About this study

Official title: A Comparison of S-ketamin, Dexmedetomidine, and Combination as Premedication in Children Undergoing ENT Surgery

We aim to investigate the effects of premedication (intranasal or intravenous administration) of s-ketamin, dexmedetomidine, and combination for premedication in children undergoing ENT surgery.

Read the detailed description

Three hundred children aged between 2 and 12 years were randomly allocated to one of five groups: 0.3 μg/kg intravenous injection s-ketamin; 0.5 μg/kg intravenous injection s-ketamin; 2 μg/kg intranasal s-ketamin group; 1 μg/kg intranasal s-ketamin + 1 μg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine group; 0.5 μg/kg intranasal s-ketamin + 2 μg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine group.

The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS) was used to assess preoperative anxiety at 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30min after premedication. A 4-point emotional state score was used to evaluate participators when they were separated from their parents and their response to intravenous cannulation or facemask application. Agitation scores (Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium [PAED] scale) and POV was assessed in the postanesthetic care unit (PACU). Times to endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway removal, discharge from the PACU, and patients' satisfaction degree were also assessed.

Being tested
S-ketamine 0.3, S-ketamine 0.5, S-ketamine 2, S-ketamine 1+Dexmedetomidine 1, S-ketamine 0.5 +Dexmedetomidine 2

What is being measured

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

  1. The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale

    A validated observational tool for assessing children's anxiety

    Measured: 1 min after premedication

  2. The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale

    A validated observational tool for assessing children's anxiety

    Measured: 5 min after premedication

  3. The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale

    A validated observational tool for assessing children's anxiety

    Measured: 10 min after premedication

  4. The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale

    A validated observational tool for assessing children's anxiety

    Measured: 20 min after premedication

  5. The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale

    A validated observational tool for assessing children's anxiety

    Measured: 30 min after premedication

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Parental Separation Anxiety Scale (PSAS)

    1. = easy separation
    2. = whimpers, but is easily reassured, not clinging
    3. = cries and cannot be easily reassured, but not clinging to parents
    4. = crying and clinging to parents

    Measured: 30 min after premedication

  2. Emotional State Scale

    Successful venous cannulation was defined as an ESS-4 ≤2 at the time of attempted cannulation, regardless of whether the vein was actually cannulated on the first attempt.

    Measured: 15 min after premedication

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing S-ketamine 0.3, S-ketamine 0.5 and S-ketamine 2 in people with Emotions and Separation Anxiety, 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 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. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (time frame: 1 min after premedication). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04757675, 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 27 Apr 2022.
