NCT02239445

Brief Summary

The purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that intranasal dexmedetomidine is as effective as second dose of oral chloral hydrate for rescue sedation in infant age between 1 and 6 months who were not adequately sedated following initial dose of chloral hydrate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • successful rescue sedation rate

    Sedation status was evaluated by a attending anesthesiologists every 5-10 min with a 6-point sedation scale, which was modified from the Observer Assessment of Alertness and Sedation Scale (MOAA/S; Table 1). successful sedation was defined as an MOAA/S of between 0 and 3

    up to 1 hours after MRI scaning

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • sedation induction time

    up to 30 min after rescue drug administration

  • Wake -up time

    up to 4 hours after rescue drug administration

Other Outcomes (3)

  • non-invasive systolic blood pressure

    baseline, before and 15 , 30, 60, 75, 90 min after rescue drug administration

  • heart rate

    baseline, before and 15 , 30, 60, 75, 90 min after rescue drug administration

  • Oxyhemoglobin desaturation

    baseline and four hours after rescue medicine administration

Study Arms (3)

chloral hydrate group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

chloral hydrate 0.25 mg/kg oral solution diluted with oral syrup to 5 ml and 0.2 mL intranasal placebo (normal saline)

Drug: chloral hydrate Group

low dose dexmedetomidine Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group L received intranasal dexmedetomidine at 1mcg/kg and 5 ml oral syrup Undiluted preservative-free dexmedetomidine (AiBeiNing; Jiang Su Heng Rui Medicine Co. Ltd, Jiangsu Province, China) was prepared in a concentration of 100mcg/ml and dripped into both nostrils using a 1 mL syringe with the child in the Supine position.

Drug: low dose dexmedetomidine group

high dose dexmedetomidine group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group H received intranasal dexmedetomidine at 2mcg/kg and 5 ml oral syrup Undiluted preservative-free dexmedetomidine (AiBeiNing; Jiang Su Heng Rui Medicine Co. Ltd, Jiangsu Province, China) was prepared in a concentration of 100mcg/ml and dripped into both nostrils using a 1 mL syringe with the child in the Supine position.
