About this study

To investigate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine on Cerebral Oxygen Saturation and Postoperative anxiety in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery

Read the detailed description

A total of 105 patients who were admitted to The First Hospital of Qinhuangdao for laparoscopic surgery and divided into control group (group C), dexmedetomidine doses of 0.2 μg/kg (group D1), dexmedetomidine doses of 0.5 μg/kg (group D2).

105 patients were randomized equally into 3 groups. 35 cases in each group. Group C received general anesthesia without dexmedetomidine, groups D1 received general anesthesia with intravenous pump of 0. 2μg/kg/h dexmedetomidine, groups D2 received general anesthesia with intravenous pump of 0. 5μg/kg/h dexmedetomidine.SBP(Systolic Blood Pressure),DP(Diastolic Pressure),HR(Heart Rate) and rScO2(Regional cerebral oxygen saturation) of the three groups were recorded before anesthesia induction (T1), at the time of intubation (T2), five minutes after induction(T3),at the beginning of surgery (T4), immediately after surgery (T5), and five minutes after extubation (T6).

The cognitive function of the three groups was assessed with the Mini Mental State Scale (MMSE) on the day before surgery. the anxiety of the three groups was assessed with Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) on the day before surgery,one day after and three days after surgery, comparing the incidence of anxiety between the three groups. Analyze whether dexmedetomidine reduced the incidence of anxiety by increasing cerebral oxygen saturation.

What participants receive

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

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    Groups D1 received general anesthesia with intravenous pump of 0. 2μg/kg/h dexmedetomidine to 30min before the end of the operation.Groups D2 received general anesthesia with intravenous pump of 0. 5μg/kg/h dexmedetomidine to 30min before the end of the operation.

  • normal salineDrug

    The same capacity of 0.9% normal saline was used in group C

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of anxiety at one day after surgery

    The three groups of patients were scored on the Self-rating Anxiety Scale on the first day after surgery, and if the Self-rating Anxiety Scale score was ≥ 50 points, the patients developed anxiety, and whether the incidence of anxiety on the first day after surgery in the three groups was statistically significant.

    Measured: One day after surgery

  2. Incidence of anxiety at three days after surgery

    The three groups of patients were scored on the Self-rating Anxiety Scale on the third day after surgery, and if the Self-rating Anxiety Scale score was ≥ 50 points, the patients developed anxiety, and whether the incidence of anxiety on the third day after surgery in the three groups was statistically significant.

    Measured: Three days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Anesthetic drug

    The dosage of remifentanil and propofol in different groups were recorded.

    Measured: Time Frame: during the surgery

  2. The change of SBP

    The change of Systolic blood pressure (SBP) among the three groups.

    Measured: before anesthesia induction, at the time of intubation, at the beginning of surgery, immediately after surgery , and five minutes after extubation

  3. The change of rScO2

    The change of regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rScO2) among the three groups.

    Measured: during the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine and normal saline in people with Anxiety, run by The First Hospital of Qinhuangdao at 1 site in China.

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Incidence of anxiety at one day after surgery (time frame: One day after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Aug 2024.
