About this study

The aim of this randomized trial is to determine efficacy of dexmedetomidine in improving quality of recovery in pediatric patients undergoing interventional catheter closure of ASD while maintaining the hemodynamic parameters. Additionally he stress reducing effects of dexmedetomidine will be investigated in this population .

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Read more

Does Dexmedetomidine maintain stable hemodynamics in pediatric patients undergoing transcatheter ASD Closure while improving their quality of recovery?

Does dexmedetomidine prolong duration of recovery and time to extubation in pediatric patients ?

Does dexmedetomidine exert stress reducing properties in this population?

Participants will:

Either be administered Dexmedetomidine in a loading/maintenance regimen or a placebo, with hemodynamics being monitored at the baseline, intraoperatively and postoperatively, with recovery time and quality of recovery especially emergence delirium being monitored. Stress hormone levels will be sampled at baseline and postoperatively.

Read the detailed description

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital anomalies in pediatric and even in adult population, it is associated with a left-to-right shunt resulting in right ventricular (RV) volume overload and increase in pulmonary blood flow eventually culmination in right ventricular heart failure (RVHF) and pulmonary hypertension.

Percutaneous closure of ASD was devised nearly a half century ago, and now constitutes a viable alternative to the standard approach of surgical closure. Anesthesia for pediatric patients undergoing percutaneous closure involves a spectrum from sedation to general anesthesia using a variety of drugs according to institutional protocol.

Stress response represents the sum of metabolic nd hormonal perturbations initiated by the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis in response to the surgical stimulus.

Dexmedetomidine is an α2-adrenoreceptor agonist possessing stress ameliorating effects exerted on the central sympathetic outflow. It can be used either alone in sedation or as supplementation to general anesthesia. It possesses a remarkable hemodynamic stability profile and due to its prolonged duration of action, it plays a significant role in reducing emergence delirium.

This study aims at evaluating utility of dexmedetomidine as a supplementary agent to general anesthesia on hemodynamic stability / cardiac output, reduction of pediatric emergence delirium and stress hormone levels in pediatric patients undergoing transcatheter closure of ASD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Dexmedetomidine, run by Alexandria 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 6 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 15 Oct 2024. 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. 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 Mohamed Okasha, Specialist - MSc (0201006462352, m_adel13@alexmed.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemodynamic Parameters - Cardiac Output (time frame: Baseline , Perioperatively). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Oct 2024.
