Effect of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate on propofol consumption, haemodynamics (blood pressure and heart rate) and postoperative recovery in spine surgery

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
ASA grade I or II patient, Non diabetic, Non hypertensive and require General anesthesia with intubation
Registration Number
CTRI/2013/08/003939
Lead Sponsor
Apollo Hospitals Bilaspur
Brief Summary

Magnesium sulphate and dexmedetomidine have been used during surgery with the intention to maintain haemodynamic stability, decrease anesthetic requirement and improved postoperative recovery in general anesthesia.

Aim - To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate on propofol consumption, haemodynamics and postoperative recovery in spine surgery.

Desigh - Prospective, randomized, placebo controlled double blinded study

Methods - Ninety patients of both gender undergoing spine surgery under general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to three groups. Group I - Dexmedetomidine loading dose 1 mcg/kg before induction over a period of 15 min and maintenance 0.5 mcg/kg/h throughout the surgery. Group II- Magnesium sulphate loading dose 50 mg/kg before induction over a period of 15 min and maintenance 15 mg/kg/h throughout the surgery. Group III - The same volume of normal saline will be administered . Anesthesia will be induced with midazolam, fentanyl, propofol and vecuronium after 5 min of loading dose of study drug. Anesthesia will be maintained with oxygen, nitrous oxide, intermittent boluses of vecuronium and fentanyl. Neuromuscular blockade will be reversed after completion of surgery. A blinded observer will be recorded haemodynamic parameters (heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean blood pressure) and propofol consumption. Statistical analysis will be done after completion of surgery.
