BACKGROUND: Sedation and analgesia are related to unexpected adverse events in chronic renal failure patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula placement procedures under monitored anesthesia care (MAC).

OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to investigate and compare the sedation and analgesia related effects and adverse effects of continuous intravenous use of midazolam to intermittent bolus doses of midazolam while intravenous remifentanil is used as a rescue medication in patients with chronic renal failure.

DESIGN: From a total of 116 patients, 99 patients with chronic renal failure undergoing arteriovenous fistula procedures were included in a prospective randomized study.

SETTINGS: Two tertiary care hospitals. PATIENTS: The patients were divided into Group 1 (continuous)(n=50); patients receiving intravenous midazolam infusion at a dose of 0.02 to 0.04 mg/kg/h and Group 2 (intermittent)(n=49); patients receiving intermittent intravenous bolus doses of 0.015 mg/kg every 10 minutes.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary outcomes were; 1- The total amount of doses of the use of midazolam and remifentanil in both groups of patients, 2- The evaluation of satisfaction of patient and surgeon at the end of the operation, in the recovery room during the period of recovery from sedation and before discharge. Other outcome measures include; the sedative, analgesic and hemodynamical effects of sedative medications that were compared in both groups of patients during the operation time period. The hospital stay duration was recorded and compared between groups. The maximum dose of midazolam was limited to 4 mg intravenously. The intensity of pain was assessed using a verbal numerical sedation scale (range 1 to 10) (VNRS) and the sedation level was recorded by Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (MOSS/A) (range 0 to 6). MOSS/A Scale includes; Score 0: Does not respond to deep stimulus, Score 1: Does not respond to mild prodding or shaking, Score 2: Responds only after mild prodding or shaking, Score 3: Responds only after name is called loudly and/or repeatedly, Score 4: Lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone, Score 5: Responds readily to name spoken in normal tone, Score 6: Agitated. An intravenous bolus dose of remifentanil as a rescue medication was administered for pain scores greater than 3 at a dose of 5µg/mL. Adverse events were recorded. Patient satisfaction level depending on the experience in general were evaluated at discharge from 0 to 4 point numerical scale: 0 = extremely dissatisfied; 1 = dissatisfied; 2 = neither satisfied nor dissatisfied; 3 = satisfied; 4 = extremely satisfied. Surgeon satisfaction level depending on the experience in general were evaluated at discharge from five-point numerical scale: 0 = extremely poor; 1 = poor; 2 = fair; 3 = good; 4 = excellent.

SAMPLE SIZE: The sample size was calculated based on a power of 80% and a 5% type-I error and for each group, thirty patients were required.

What participants receive

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

  • Midazolam intravenous injectionDrug

    Also called Dormicum, Deva Pharmaceutical, Turkey

    The midazolam was prepared as 5 mg midazolam in 20 mL syringe of 5% dextrose water solution (0.25 mg/mL) in both arms. Both groups of patients received an intravenous bolus dose of midazolam was administered before the start of the surgery. In Group 1, continuous infusion of intravenous midazolam was started and in Group 2, intravenous bolus doses of midazolam were administered. The doses were adjusted depending on pain level and sedation level using appropriate scales for monitoring during the surgical time period. The drip rate was adjusted according to pain intensity. The infusion of drugs was discontinued at the end of the procedure.

  • Remifentanil intravenous bolus doseDrug

    Also called Ultiva, Glaxo Smith Kline Pharmaceutical, England

    A remifentanil infusion was prepared as follows; 0.5 mg remifentanil was added into 100 mL of 0.9% saline at a concentration of 5 μg/mL. The preparation of remifentanil solution and installation of the device was done by an anesthesiologist who was blinded for the study groups. The dose and number of patients that required remifentanil were recorded. The infusion of drugs was discontinued at the end of the procedure. A rescue medication of intravenous remifentanil bolus dose was used as 1 to 3 mL (5 μg or 15 μg) every 5 minutes if necessary for pain scores greater than 3. This infusion was prepared prior to the use during the study and was discontinued at the end of the procedure.

Yes: This is a prospective, randomized clinical study. Both groups of patients received intravenous midazolam in two different methods. The groups were assigned depending on the use of intravenous midazolam as a continuous infusion or intermittent bolus doses. In both groups, as a rescue medication, intravenous bolus doses of remifentanil was used. The titration of the doses of midazolam and remifentanil was done according to the use of pain intensity level and the sedation level evaluations. The primary outcome was the comparison of the total amount of doses of the use of midazolam and remifentanil in milligrams in both groups of patients and the comparison of the satisfaction of patients and surgeons using an appropriate questionnaire. The pain intensity and sedation level, hemodynamical effects, as well as adverse events, were compared in both groups of patients. The recovery time and hospital stay duration were compared between the two groups of patients.

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 amount of total use of midazolam and remifentanil drug consumptions in milligrams during operation time period. (time frame: Through the operative time period up to two hours of time.). The study lists 12 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04226443, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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.
