About this study

Official title: Comparing the Hemodynamic Effect of Dexmedetomidine Alone With Dexmedetomidine Plus Ketamine Combination in Post Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

In post cardiac surgery, many cardiovascular and other complications may occur that lead to increase in mortality and hospital stays. Meticulous perioperative management is important to avoid these adverse events. Tachycardia is the main cause of post coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) myocardial ischemia which can be decreased by sedation and analgesia.

Read the detailed description

Dexmedetomidine is a highly specific alpha 2 adrenoreceptor agonist. Its sedative effect results from stimulation of alpha 2 adrenoreceptors in the central nervous system (in the locus coeruleus) independent of GABA system contrary to other drugs.Dexmedetomidine has better sedative effect and similar respiratory and hemodynamic effects to midazolam. It does not depress respiratory drive or decrease arterial oxygen saturation so intravenous (IV) continuous sedation with dexmedetomidine does not change the normal course of ventilator weaning and extubation. It produces a unique EEG pattern of sleep that closely resembles that of normal physiological sleep that allows easy arousal. Dexmedetomidine also has analgesic effect. All these properties make dexmedetomidine a first line drug for the cooperative sedation management in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Ketamine is a phencyclidine nonbarbiturate derivative that binds with N methyl d aspartate and sigma opioid receptors to produce dissociative anesthesia, analgesia, and amnesia with little or no respiratory or cardiovascular depression. Ketamine inhibits endothelial nitric oxide production leading to positive inotropic action and vasoconstriction which preserves hemodynamic stability. Dexmedetomidine can effectively and safely attenuate the ketamine induced hemodynamic pressor response and psychomimetic effects. Dexmedetomidine expected to prevent the tachycardia, hypertension, salivation, and emergence phenomena associated with ketamine. Ketamine may prevent the bradycardia and hypotension that have been reported with dexmedetomidine. Review of literature has shown that there are very few studies present on the comparison of combination of Ketamine and dexmedetomidine with dexmedetomidine alone especially in post cardiac surgery patients and therefore further studies are required to ascertain the role of dexmedetomidine in terms of hemodynamic effects after cardiac surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Dexmedetomidine aloneDrug

    All the patients in group DA will be sedated using dexmedetomidine 1mcg/kg IV bolus, followed by 0.3-0.7mcg/kg/h infusion to maintain Ramsay sedation score ≥4 during assisted ventilation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemodynamic stability

    Hemodynamic stability:If blood pressure and heart rate are with in appropriate limits,it will be considered as hemodynamically stable.

    Blood pressure:MAP>65 mmhg is considered stable. Heart rate:80-100 bpm is considered stable.

    Measured: 06 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine alone in people with Hemodynamic Instability, run by Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 1 Feb 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 Pakistan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Hemodynamic stability (time frame: 06 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 1 Feb 2022.
