NCT04932746

Brief Summary

The children who will undergo OLV (one lung ventilation) through general anesthesia will be divided into two groups: The first will be intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine at 0.4 mcg / kg / hour, and the second will be intravenous infusion of normal saline. We will take three samples of arterial blood gas (ABG) during the surgery at certain times. We record the hemodynamic values, PaO2, and calculate the value of the shunt Qs / Qt.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Evaluation of change in PaO2 during surgery

    PaO2 : The partial pressure of oxygen The partial pressure of oxygen, also known as PaO2, is a measurement of oxygen pressure in arterial blood. It reflects how well oxygen is able to move from the lungs to the blood

    Three measurements will be taken over three times: T1: 10 min after induction of anesthesia and before OLV, T2: 10 min after lung isolation and OLV single lung ventilation, and T3: 60 min after OLV procedure.

  • Evaluation of change in Qs/Qt during surgery. Qs/Qt: is a measurement of pulmonary shunt. Qs: blood flow through the shunt, Qt : total blood flow.

    It describes the percentage of blood that reaches the left side of the heart without picking up oxygen. The pulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt) is calculated from the equation Qs/Qt = (CcO2 - CaO2)/(CcO2 - CvO2) Parameters we need to the equation: 1. Measurement of arterial blood gases ABG from arteries (radial or aorta) and the values it provides: 1. PaO2: partial pressure of arterial oxygen 2. SaO2: the degree of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin 3. Hb: hemoglobin 2. Measurement of ABG from the pulmonary artery or from the right atrium via central catheter 1. PvO2: partial pressure of venous oxygen 2. SvO2: the degree of oxygen saturation of venous hemoglobin 3. Hb: hemoglobin 3. The following values 1. PB = (759 \~ 760) atmospheric pressure 2. PH2O = 47 water vapor pressure at a body temperature of 37 3. RQ = 0.8: RER = respiratory exchange rate when anesthetized 4. FiO2 The Fraction of Inspired Oxygen

    Three measurements will be taken over three times: T1: 10 min after induction of anesthesia and before OLV, T2: 10 min after lung isolation and OLV single lung ventilation, and T3: 60 min after OLV procedure.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Evaluation of change in CaO2 during surgery

    Three measurements will be taken over three times: T1: 10 min after induction of anesthesia and before OLV, T2: 10 min after lung isolation and OLV single lung ventilation, and T3: 60 min after OLV procedure.

  • Evaluation of change in CvO2 during surgery

    Three measurements will be taken over three times: T1: 10 min after induction of anesthesia and before OLV, T2: 10 min after lung isolation and OLV single lung ventilation, and T3: 60 min after OLV procedure.

  • Evaluation of change in Cc'O2 during surgery

    Three measurements will be taken over three times: T1: 10 min after induction of anesthesia and before OLV, T2: 10 min after lung isolation and OLV single lung ventilation, and T3: 60 min after OLV procedure.

Study Arms (2)

The dexmedetomidine group:

EXPERIMENTAL

An initial dose of 1 mcg / kg 1 dexmedetomidine will be given 10 minutes after the start of anesthesia infusion within 10 minutes, after which the dexmedetomidine infusion is maintained at a dose of 0.4 mcg / kg / hour. The injection will be stopped before the skin is closed.

Drug: Dexmedetomidine

The Placebo group (the control group):

EXPERIMENTAL

After the same anesthesia, the same amount of Saline solution will be administered, instead of dexmedetomidine, with the same protocol.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

Infusion syringes are supplied with a concentration of 0.25 mcg / mL (dexmedetomidine or placebo) either 80 mcg / 20 mL, 200 mcg / 50 mL, or 400 mcg / 100 mL. It begins with infusion of 4 ml within 10 minutes and then continues infusion, depending on the child's weight, at 1.6 ml / kg / h. All injections will be prepared randomly by a doctor who did not participate in the study, and then placed in unmarked infusion pumps, given to an anesthesiologist (more than 10 years experience in pediatric anesthesia) without knowledge of the infusion content. The randomization process is carried out via sealed envelope technique. The injections in both groups will be stopped before the skin is closed. Both patients and anesthesiologists blinded the study drug (dexmedetomidine or placebo) by infusion of solution (dexmedetomidine or placebo). Depending on the size in ml, to ensure that there is no bias and blindness to the medical team about what the drug is.

Also known as: Precedex
The dexmedetomidine group:

The same anesthesia, the same amount of Saline solution will be administered, instead of dexmedetomidine, with the same protocol

Also known as: Saline
The Placebo group (the control group):

Eligibility Criteria

Age1 Day - 12 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • As per the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-I physical condition children undergoing thoracic surgery with OLV.
  • From one day old to 12 years old.
  • There is no prejudice in terms of gender.
  • This study practically does not exclude any child who will undergo OLV even in the presence of cardiac, renal or hepatic diseases.
  • Or even in the presence of cardiac stimulants and supports (dopamine or dopamine), provided that the general condition is stable, which allows surgery and OLV.

You may not qualify if:

  • Premature infants: due to immaturity of the lung and insufficient formation of the surfactant.
  • Cystic Fibrosis: The depressor for surfactant and lung immaturity is not permitted to perform the OLV technique
  • There is no contraindication for the administration of dexmedetomidine in children except those who show signs of allergy to the dexmedetomidine.
  • This study does not exclude practically any child who will undergo OLV.
  • During operating surgery: The child is excluded from the study if hypoxia occurs (SpO2 \<90%) and did not respond to maneuvers and anesthetic techniques (Increase PEEP Increase the FLOW, Tidal volume, increase Vt, Pmax increased pressure, FiO2 increased) Then the lungs are periodically ventilated with positive pressure, and the OLV technique is switched off and the child is excluded from the pilot study.
  • During operating surgery: If there is a drop-in heart rate less than 60 beats / minute and it does not respond to atropine or an increased dose of Cardiac tonics (dopamine).
  • At this time the infusion of dexmedetomidine is stopped, it is assumed that there is no very slow pulse, and if it does, it is likely that the primary cardiac lesion is the cause.
