About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Different Doses Dexmedetomidine Infusion on Lung Mechanics and Oxygenation in Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cancer Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Trial

  • The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine infusion intraoperative on lung mechanics and oxygenation regarding PaO2/Fraction of inspired oxygen), Intraoperative oxygenation, lung compliance (static and dynamic), dead space, and PaCO2,heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cancer surgeries
Read the detailed description

Dexmedetomidine is a selective agonist of α2receptorswhose tendency to α2 receptors is eight times more than that of clonidine. It also has powerful sedative, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and organ protective properties. dexmedetomidine has favorable respiratory effects in humans. The effects of dexmedetomidine on oxygenation and lung mechanics had been investigated in obstructive lung disease. Dexmedetomidine decreased dead space and improved both lung compliance and oxygenation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. Morbidly obese patients are characterized by the high prevalence of restrictive lung disease.The study include 2 equal groups, each group is 35 patients: Group A(N=35) dexmedetomidine is infused intraoperative after intubation at dose of (1μg/Kg LBW) bolus, followed by 0.5μg/Kg/hour continuous infusion till the end of surgery and Group B(N=35) dexmedetomidine is infused intraoperative after intubation at dose of (0.5μg/Kg LBW) bolus, followed by 0.3μg/Kg/hour continuous infusion till the end of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dexmedetomidine Injection [Precedex] in people with Obesity; Drug, run by National Cancer Institute, Egypt 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 5 May 2022. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Oxygenation by the end study drug infusion (time frame: baseline and end of surgery). 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 5 May 2022.
