What is being measured

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

  1. Surgeon and patient satisfaction

    It was evaluated with an absolute numerical subjective scale from 1 to 7, where a score of 1 means total dissatisfaction, and 7 complete satisfaction. Scores were evaluated 30 minutes after surgery begun and at the end of the procedure. Results are presented in median and interquartile ranges.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Heart rate

    Beats per minute (bpm)

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. Mean arterial pressure

    Millimeters of mercury (mmHg)

    Measured: Intraoperative

  3. Hemoglobin oxygen saturation

    Oxygen saturation (%)

    Measured: Intraoperative

  4. Surgery duration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing remifentanil and Dexmedetomidine in people with Failed Conscious Sedation During Procedure, run by Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jan 2018. 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.

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: a respiratory depression in remifentanyl group). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Surgeon and patient satisfaction (time frame: Intraoperative). 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 17 Jan 2018.
