About this study

Official title: Moderate Sedation by Dexmedetomidine Versus General Anesthesia on the Diagnostic Yield of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration: A Randomized Controlled Study

The aim of this study is to compare dexmedetomidine as moderate sedation versus general anathesia on the diagnostic yield of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration

Read the detailed description

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has emerged as a highly effective, minimally invasive technique for sampling peribronchial, mediastinal, and lung masses for pathologic examination with low rate of complications, and costs.

Dexmedetomidine, is a high-affinity adrenergic agonist of the alpha 2 receptor, is a potential alternative sedative.

The use of dexmedetomidine does not lead to respiratory depression, or to a decline in cognitive skills or patient cooperation. This is because dexmedetomidine acts on the alpha-2 receptors in the locus coeruleus, in contrast to other sedatives (midazolam and propofol) which act on GABA receptors/cerebral cortex.

Being tested
dexmedetomidine, general anesthesia

What participants receive

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

  • dexmedetomidineProcedure or surgery

    patients will recieve moderate sedation by dexmedetomidine as study group

  • general anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    general anesthesia with neuromuscular blockade under controlled ventilation as control group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dexmedetomidine and general anesthesia in people with Sedation and Dexmedetomidine, run by Kafrelsheikh 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 25 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.

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?

Diagnostic yield of Endobronchial ultrasound -guided transbronchial needle aspiration (time frame: During procedure). 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 25 Oct 2023.
