Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to:

  • determine the effect of dexmedetomidine on cisatracurium infusion requirements and sufentanil consumption.
  • analyze the cisatracurium infusion requirements and sufentanil consumption in different age groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cisatracurium infusion consumption.

    Measurements were done during the operation. Cisatracurium infusion was controlled a closed loop computer system. The degree of neuromuscular blockage was assessed every 20 seconds throughout the procedure using the train of four testing. It was done by counting the number and amplitude of twitches evoked after electrical stimulus and the rate of infusion maintained itself at the low rate of 0.20µg/kg/min as long as the T1 response is less than 1%. When the T1 \> 1%, the rate of infusion would automatically increase to 5.0 µg/kg/min until T1 \< 1%, after which the infusion rate would fall back to 0.20µg/kg/min. The controlled infusion described above administered small doses of cisatracurium intra-operatively to maintain a muscle relaxation of more than 99%. The system saved the time and amount of drug given throughout the operation, from which the consumption was calculated in µg/kg/min.

    At the time of surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Sufentanil consumption.

    At the time of operation.

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Recovery Index

    30 minutes post-operative.

Study Arms (4)

P 1

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group patients were aged from 20 to 45. Propofol infusion was used to maintain Bispectral Index (BIS) between 45 and 55. Intermittent doses of sufentanil 10-20 microgram were given intra-operatively on a required basis.

Drug: Consumption of cisatracurium and sufentanil in different age groups.

P 2

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group patients were aged from 46 to 65. Propofol infusion was used to maintain Bispectral Index (BIS) between 45 and 55. Intermittent doses of sufentanil 10-20 microgram were given intra-operatively on a required basis.

Drug: Effect of dexmedetomidine on cisatracurium and sufentanil consumptionDrug: Consumption of cisatracurium and sufentanil in different age groups.

P 3

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group patients were aged from 66 to 85. Propofol infusion was used to maintain Bispectral Index (BIS) between 45 and 55. Intermittent doses of sufentanil 10-20 microgram were given intra-operatively on a required basis.

Drug: Consumption of cisatracurium and sufentanil in different age groups.

D

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group patients were aged from 46to 65. Propofol infusion was used to maintain Bispectral Index (BIS) between 45 and 55. Dexmedetomidine infusion is started at induction,a bolus dose of 0.5 µg/kg is given over the first hour which is followed by infusion of 0.4 µg/kg/hr. Intermittent doses of sufentanil 10-20 microgram were given intra-operatively on a required basis.

Drug: Effect of dexmedetomidine on cisatracurium and sufentanil consumption

Interventions

In this intervention we compared the cisatracurium consumption, recovery index and sufentanil consumption between P2 and D. The reason we are comparing patients in group D with P2 is that because they belong to the same age group.

Also known as: Dexmedetomidine
DP 2

For this intervention, we compared the cisatracurium consumption, refractory index and sufentanil consumption between group P1, P2 and P3.
