About this study

Official title: The Effects of Different Dexmedetomidine on the Propofol Requirement for Loss of Consciousness Undergoing Bispectral Index

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of different dexmedetomidine on the propofol requirement for loss of consciousness undergoing bispectral index.

Read the detailed description

It has been shown that dexmedetomidine was an efficacious and safe adjuvant in general anaesthesia. Administration of dexmedetomidine during the preoperative period has been demonstrated to reduce the requirement of opioid analgesics and other sedative and hypnotic drugs.Therefore, the study is designed to measure the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine premedication on the propofol dose requirement and bispectral index at loss of consciousness.

Being tested
normal saline, dexmedetomidine 0.5 µg/kg, dexmedetomidine 1.0 µg/kg

What is being measured

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

  1. The propofol requirement for pretreatment of dexmedetomidine by micro-pump until loss of consciousness

    Measured: To infuse dexmedetomidine and saline completely ten minutes after

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The bispectral index values when patients loss of consciousness

    Measured: To infuse dexmedetomidine and saline completely ten minutes after

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing normal saline, dexmedetomidine 0.5 µg/kg and dexmedetomidine 1.0 µg/kg in people with Loss of Consciousness, run by General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University.

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 4 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 8 Nov 2016. 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. 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.

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 propofol requirement for pretreatment of dexmedetomidine by micro-pump until loss of consciousness (time frame: To infuse dexmedetomidine and saline completely ten minutes after). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02783846, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Nov 2016.
