What participants receive

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

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

  • KetamineDrug

    0.2 mg/kg iv of ketamine diluted to 20 ml followed by 0.1 mg/kg/hr infusion

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Shivering grade

    Shivering of patients will be grouped into five grades; Grade 0: lack of shivering, Grade I: slight shivering (inconsiderable yet apparent peripheral vasoconstriction), Grade II: medium level shivering (muscular activity in one muscle group only), Grade III: severe shivering (muscular activity in more than one muscle group without generalized shivering), Grade IV: generalized shivering.

    Measured: Shivering grade of patients will be evaluated every 15 minutes interval after giving the drug till 1hour postoperatively

Model description
Patients will be randomly assigned to either group Dexmedetomidine (receiving I/V bolus of dexmedetomidine 0.1 mg/kg as a 20 ml solution, followed by 0.04mg/kg/hr infusion till surgery completion) OR group Ketamine (receiving 0.2 mg/kg iv of ketamine diluted to 20 ml followed by 0.1 mg/kg/hr infusion till surgery completion) through sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelope. Anesthesiologist and patients both will be blinded to the administered drug in two groups. Either of the drugs will be injected after giving spinal anesthesia and confirmation of achievement of desired level of block. In the recovery room Shivering grade, and vitals of patients will be evaluated every 15 minutes interval after giving the drug till 1hour postoperatively. 1st reading taken 15minutes after giving the drug will be labelled as Zero time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine in people with Chills, run by Hamdard 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2022. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nida Shahid, MBBS, FCPS (+923332358698, nida-shahid2011@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Shivering grade (time frame: Shivering grade of patients will be evaluated every 15 minutes interval after giving the drug till 1hour postoperatively). 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 1 Aug 2022.
