About this study

Official title: The Effects of Propofol and Dexmedetomidine Infusion on the Fluid Responsiveness in Critically Ill Patients

Hypotension and bradycardia are often observed following induction of dexmedetomidine or propofol sedation.Cardiac preload decrease by sedative agents was often considered as one of main causes for this hypotension.The investigators hypothesized that hypotension after induction of sedation is caused by decrease of preload by sedative agents,and passive leg raising (PLR)test could predict this event.Dexmedetomidine or propofol infusion in patients with circulatory failure decrease cardiac preload and enhance preload-dependency and fluid responsiveness.

Read the detailed description

In this clinical trial,the investigators hypothesized dexmedetomidine or propofol infusion in patients with circulatory failure decrease cardiac preload and enhanced preload-dependency and fluid responsiveness,and PLR induced pulse pressure variation (PLR-ΔPP) could predict the hypotension during dexmedetomidine induction in critically ill patients.Before dexmedetomidine or propofol infusion, the investigators will conduct passive leg raising test. At first, the patient's trunk was elevated 45 degrees for the first set of measurements. Then, the lower limbs were raised to a 45° angle while the patient's trunk was lowered to a supine position to measure peak BP (usually within 30-90 s). Hemodynamic profiles planned to be measured are SBP, DBP, CVP and HR.Sedation was induced with a dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/kg over 10 min loading, followed by a maintenance infusion of 0.2-0.7 μg/kg/h for one hour. The dose of propofol was titrated targeting the Richmond agitation sedation scale (RASS) ranged from -2 to -1 (bispectral index: 60-75).Hypotension was defined as a SBP less than 80 mmHg or DBP was less than 50 mmHg, or greater than 30% decrease from baseline for longer than 60 s. Bradycardia was defined a HR 50 /min or greater than 30% change from baseline for longer than 60 s. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of the value PLR-ΔPP to detect patients at high risk of hypotension.

What participants receive

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

  • Passive Leg RaisingOther

    Also called Passive Leg Raising testing

    elevation of both legs to a 45 degrees for about 1-2 minute before sedation

  • propofol or mexmedetomidineDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. the area under ROC curve to predict hypotension

    area under ROC curve of blood pressure changes during PLR to predict hypotension during sedation

    Measured: 60 min around passive leg raising test

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Passive Leg Raising and propofol or mexmedetomidine in people with Shock and Sepsis, run by Southeast University, China 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 8 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 29 Jan 2014. 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?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 area under ROC curve to predict hypotension (time frame: 60 min around passive leg raising test). 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 29 Jan 2014.
