NCT04307290

Brief Summary

Eighty patients were randomly assigned to either control (CON) or dexmedetomidine (DEX) group. DEX group received a loading dose of 0.5 µg/ kg of intravenous dexmedetomidine over 10 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.5 µg/kg/h until completion of the surgery. CON group received the same calculated volume of normal saline. Pain outcomes, metabolic and coagulative changes after tourniquet application, and after tourniquet release were investigated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • total PCA volume consumed

    patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump containing fentanyl 1000 μg, ketorolac 150 mg, and ramosetron 0.6 mg in a total volume of 150 mL of saline was set to deliver a basal infusion of 2 mL/h and bolus doses of 1 mL, with a 15-min lockout period for postoperative analgesia.

    for 48 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • hemodynamic variable

    baseline, 10 min, 30 min, 60min after tourniquet application and 10 min after tourniquet release

  • heart rate (hemodynamic variable)

    baseline, 10 min, 30 min, 60min after tourniquet application and 10 min after tourniquet release

  • Number of participants with metabolic variables

    baseline, 10 min after tourniquet release

  • coagulative variable

    baseline, 10 min after tourniquet release

  • body temperature

    at 1 min just before the start of spinal anesthesia as a baseline and at 10 min after tourniquet release.

Study Arms (2)

Masking Details
Randomization sequence was created using Stata 9.0 (Stata Corp, College Station, TX, USA) statistical software and was stratified by center with a 1:1 allocation using random block sizes of 4. Assignments were concealed in sealed envelopes. Participants were randomly assigned following simple randomization procedures (computerized random numbers) to 1 of 2 treatment groups: DEX group (n = 40) received intravenous dexmedetomidine (0.5 μg/kg bolus over 10 minutes, followed by 0.5 μg/kg/h infusion from 10 min before the start of surgery to the end of surgery), and CON group (n = 40) received an equivalent volume of normal saline bolus and infusion as placebo until the end of surgery. Patients, attending anesthesiologists responsible for patient care, and nurses were all blinded to the anesthetic agent during the study period.
