Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil in NORA

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Comparison of the Effects of Remifentanil and Dexmedetomidine
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06403670
Lead Sponsor
Baskent University Ankara Hospital
Brief Summary

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure is frequently encountered in non-operating room anesthesia applications (NORA). It is a procedure that requires deep sedation and analgesia in terms of gastroenterologist and patient comfort. Dexmedetomidine, which is increasingly used in NORA applications, comes to the fore because it does not cause respiratory depression, reduces the stress response, and provides hemodynamic stability. This study aims to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine-propofol (DP) and remifentanil-propofol (RP) combinations on hemodynamic stability, rapid recovery, and patient comfort in patients who underwent ERCP.

GroupInterventionDescription
Group RemiRemifentanilGroup RP received remifentanil 0.1 mcg/kg intravenously for 2 minutes, then remifentanil infusion was started at 0.01-0.1 mcg/kg/min. After waiting 2 minutes to develop a sufficient sedation level, 1 mg/kg of propofol was given.
Group DexDexmedetomidineGroup Dex received 0.5 mcg/kg of dexmedetomidine IV for 10 minutes, then dexmedetomidine infusion was started at 0.1-0.7 mcg/kg/h. Propofol 1 mg/kg was administered after waiting for 5 minutes for adequate sedation to develop due to dexmedetomidine's delayed onset of action.
