About this study

Official title: Incidence of Polyuria Associated With Dexmedetomidine During the Intra-operative Period

Dexmedetomidine is an a2-adrenergic receptor agonist drug, widely used in intensive care for the sedation of patients on mechanical ventilation, as well as in the operating room during invasive procedures and during general anesthesia. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces the need for opioids and benzodiazepines, which leads to a lower incidence of delirium associated with these drugs.

Among the frequent adverse effects associated with the administration of dexmedetomidine we can find bradycardia and hypotension, while some studies carried out in animals have shown that it can increase the diuretic rate.

Read more

Polyuria related to pharmacological agonism of a2-adrenergic receptors has been described in vitro and in studies performed in animal models, and is believed to be the result of functional antagonism of arginine vasopressin. Despite its widespread use as a sedative and adjunctive anesthetic, there are very few reports in the literature of dexmedetomidine-related polyuria in humans.

Currently there are no reports in the literature on the incidence of polyuria induced by the intraoperative administration of dexmedetomidine.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, observational study designed to determine the incidence of polyuria, defined as urine output greater than 150 ml/h or 3 ml/kg/h, associated with the administration of dexmedetomidine during the intraoperative period.

The investigators will prospectively and consecutively study all patients scheduled for high complexity surgery under general anesthesia for a period of 4 months.

The diuretic rate will be quantified in ml/hour. A urine sample will be taken two hours after the start of surgery to assess sodium and urinary density, and an arterial blood sample will be taken to determine serum sodium.

Hydration will be recorded in milliliters per hour, detailing the type of solution used.

All data obtained will be captured in a RedCap data collection form.

    Incidence of polyuria during the intraoperative period, associated with dexmedetomidine .

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of polyuria associated with the administration of dexmedetomidine

    Determine the incidence of polyuria defined as urine output greater than 150 ml/h or 3 ml/kg/h associated with the administration of dexmedetomidine during the intraoperative period in patients scheduled for highly complex surgery

    Measured: 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. determine if the appearance of polyuria is associated with other factors

    Determine if there is any correlation between the appearance of polyuria associated with the administration of dexmedetomidine and age, sex, type of surgery, other anesthetic drugs, and esophageal temperature.

    Measured: 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polyuria, run by Hospital Privado de Comunidad de Mar del Plata.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 7 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Cecilia M Acosta, MD (542234990074, ceacosta77@icloud.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of polyuria associated with the administration of dexmedetomidine (time frame: 3 hours). 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 7 Aug 2024.
