- Brief Summary
Due to sleep deficiency, patients with insomnia syndrome or sub-clinical insomnia syndrome often undergo severe stress while waiting for surgery. Studies have reported that preoperative hypnosis could reduce stress and promote recovery. Midazolam has been recommended to patients who under severe stress for preoperative sedation and anti-anxiety. However, midazolam for preoperative hypnosis monitored with polysomnography (PSG) has not been studied. In this exploratory study, the median effective dose (ED50) and ED95 of Midazolam Oral Solution for preoperative hypnosis in non-elderly adults using the gold standard tool of PSG, will be explored by up-and-down sequential allocation and probit method.
- Detailed Description
The exploratory study of ED50 will be manipulated by an up-and-down sequential allocation with a single arm prospectively.
1. The day before surgery, subjects will be enrolled according to the inclusion criteria and sign the informed consent voluntarily.
2. On the day of surgery, the clinical process is as follows. According to the routine medical procedures of our center, patients should access in the operating room about 2 hours before their surgery for adequate preparation.After peripheral venous catheterization, monitored by electrocardiogram, noninvasive blood pressure, and pulse oxygen saturation, invasive procedures,such as arterial catheterization, central venous catheterization or nerve blocks, will be operated individually according to surgical and anesthesia necessity.
3. The intervention of Midazolam Oral Solution for preoperative hypnosis will be done after invasive procedures. The ED50 dose of midazolam oral solution for hypnosis is studied using an up-and-down sequential allocation while waiting for surgery and general anesthesia in preoperative room.
The starting dose is 6 mg and the step size is 1 mg. The interval sequential dose is varied by 1 mg based on the hypnosis response of the previous patient after one hour. Sleep of the subjects will be monitored by portable PSG (Alice PDx).
Definition of successful hypnosis by taking midazolam oral solution: The polysomnograph (PSG) not only shows stage N2 within 30 minutes, but also shows stage N3 within an hour; or else, definition of unsuccessful hypnosis. The intervention procedure : (1) The first subject takes 6mg of midazolam oral solution; (2) If succeed, the second subject will take 5mg; (3) If not succeed, the second subject will take 7mg; (4) Until seven sequence reversal inflection points.
4. Measures of safety assurance:
(1)Monitoring: Electrocardiogram, blood pressure, pulse oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, consciousness; (2)Monitors, negative pressure suction devices, oxygen inhalation devices, ventilators, items needed for emergency airway establishment, first aid medications, systemically trained anesthesiologists and nurses; (3)Emergencies include, but are not limited to: vomiting, respiratory depression, and respiratory obstruction. If any of the above events occur after intervention, the clinical procedures or emergency procedures will be followed immediately.
Statistics： Using the sequential and probit method to determine the median effective dose and ED95. The sample size is considered adequate once 7 pairs of sequence reversals have been reached. Based on the preliminary test analysis, it is anticipated that 40 subjects would be required.
