Condition(s) targeted: Anesthesia; Hypotension

Intervention: Dexmedetomidine (Drug); Nitroglycerin (Drug)

Phase: N/A

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Mahidol University

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Duangdee Rummasak, M.D., Principal Investigator, Affiliation: faculty of dentistry, Mahidol university

Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the positive anesthetic properties such as reduce intraoperative analgesic requirement, time to extubation and recovery, and early postoperative pain of dexmedetomidine used as a hypotensive agent compared with nitroglycerin.

Clinical Details

Official title: Anesthetic Advantages of Dexmedetomidine Compared With Nitroglycerin for Hypotensive Anesthesia in Orthognathic Surgery. A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Subject), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: amount of intraoperative fentanyl

Secondary outcome:

time to eye opening

time to follow verbal command

time to extubation

postoperative pain score at 30 minute

postoperative pain score at 60 minute

amount of pethidine

Detailed description: The subject included the healthy patients who underwent orthognathic surgery and gave written the informed consent. The sample size was calculate from the amount of fentanyl use in orthognathic surgical case and difference more 30% was significant. Randomization was done by random number table to 2 groups. Both groups received standardized controlled hypotensive anesthesia and surgery. D group used dexmedetomidine as the hypotensive drug and N group use nitroglycerin. The main outcome were the amount of fentanyl use, time to eye opening, follow simple command, extubation, early postoperative pain, and early postoperative amount of pain killer. All recorded by anesthesiologist on data sheet. compare statistical analysis used compare mean by unpaired student t test.
