The Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Propofol Requirement for Insertion of Laryngeal Mask Airway

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Precedex Effect to Propofol Requirement
Interventions
Drug: Normal saline
Registration Number
NCT02284672
Lead Sponsor
Ajou University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

Propofol frequently used as an inducting medication for insertion Laryngeal mask airway(LMA). But propofol alone can be not sufficient for inhibiting upper airway reflex and also result in cardiovascular suppression under enough amount. Dexmedetomidine is a selective alplh2 receptor agonist with analgesic and sedative effects but sparing respiratory function. Therefore propofol combined with dexmedetomidine induction could be more effective in preserve respiration under same condition for LMA insertion than propofol alone. In this study, the investigators investigate the clinical dose of propofol for LMA insertion with premedication of dexmedetomidine, and evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine.

controlNormal salineAfter preoxygenation for 3 minutes, normal saline would be injected to patient for 10 minute. First, 1% lidocaine 3 ml were given for reducing injection pain of propofol and the settled amount of propofol was injected during 15 seconds. After 90 seconds, other anesthesiologist who did'nt know the injected drug tried to insert LMA.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fail or success for Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) insertionDuring inserting LMA and up to 5 seconds after LMA inserion

Failure for LMA insertion is defined if there is a difficulty for mouth opening or active movement of four limbs or head. Success is smooth LMA insertion without any movement
