Acute Ischemic Stroke

Registration Number
NCT04916197
Lead Sponsor
Beijing Chao Yang Hospital
Brief Summary

Dexmedetomidine can attenuate the activity of the sympathetic nervous system under stress response and improve ischemia-reperfusion injury. The investigators hypothesized that the prolonged sedation of dexmedetomidine after successful reperfusion of endovascular thrombectomy may improve the clinical outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients.

Detailed Description

Endovascular treatment with mechanical thrombectomy is the standard treatment for acute large vessel occlusion.

Dexmedetomidine is a commonly used sedative in endovascular thrombectomy of acute ischemic stroke.

Dexmedetomidine can attenuate the activity of the sympathetic nervous system under stress response and improve ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The investigators hypothesized that the prolonged sedation of dexmedetomidine after successful reperfusion of endovascular thrombectomy may improve the clinical outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients.

GroupInterventionDescription
Intervention groupDexmedetomidine prolonged sedationDexmedetomidine 0.1\~1.0 μg/kg/h for 24h after patients finished endovascular thrombectomy and returned to ICU. Maintain Ramsay score 2-3.
Control group0.9% salineAn equal dose of saline 24h after patients finished endovascular thrombectomy and returned to ICU. If the Ramsay sedation score is 1, propofol will be administrated to maintain the Ramsay sedation score at 2 to 3.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The favorable functional outcome of stroke-related disability rate90 ± 14 days after thrombectomy

Modified Rankin Scale ≤ 2 points. mRS range from 0 to 6, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
adverse events at 90-day after operationwithin 90-day after thrombectomy

hypotension (systolic blood pressure under 90mmHg), bradycardia (heart rate under 50bpm), hypoxemia (pulse oxygen saturation under 90%), and serious events such as death and life-threatening events
