About this study

Official title: Effect of Different Does of Dexmedetomidine on Oxygenation and Lung Mechanics

Dexmedetomidine is a selective α -2 agonist widely used in anesthesia for its sympatholytic, sedative and analgesic effects . Favorable respiratory effects in animals , and in selected human patient groups have been reported when using this agent .we investigated the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine infusion on oxygenation

Being tested
GROUP Dexmedetomidine, GROUP B, GROUP C

What participants receive

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

  • GROUP DexmedetomidineDrug

    Dexmedetomidine (Precedex) loadings of 1 μg/kg , then continuously at a rate of 0.2 μg/(kg/h) till the end of the operation .

  • GROUP BDrug

    Dexmedetomidine (Precedex) loadings of 0.5 μg/kg , then continuously at a rate of 0.2 μg/(kg/h) till the end of the operation .

  • GROUP CDrug

    Dexmedetomidine (Precedex) loadings of 0.25 μg/kg, then continuously at a rate of 0.2 μg/(kg/h) till the end of the operation .

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxygenation by the end study

    PaO2/Fraction of inspired oxygen

    Measured: UP TO 6 HOURE

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Intraoperative dynamic lung compliance

    tidal volume/ (peak airway pressure -PEEP)

    Measured: up to 6 hours

  2. Intraoperative static lung compliance

    Tidal volume/ (plateau pressure - PEEP)

    Measured: UP TO 6 HOURE

  3. Physiological dead space

    1.14 (PaCO2-EtCO2)/ PaCO2-0.005

    Measured: UP TO 6HOURE

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GROUP Dexmedetomidine, GROUP B and GROUP C in people with Drug Use and Dexmedetomidine, run by Cairo University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 Apr 2024. 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.

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 Amr S Wahdan, MD (00201001422499, amrwahdan@kasralainy.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oxygenation by the end study (time frame: UP TO 6 HOURE). 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 10 Apr 2024.
