Monitored Anesthesia Care: Dexmedetomidine-Ketamine Versus Dexmedetomidine- Propofol For Chronic Subdural Hematoma

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Conscious Sedation
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04621526
Lead Sponsor
Zagazig University
Brief Summary

Inadequate sedation and analgesia indicated by intraoperative movements are markers of inadequate MAC during burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation especially when general anesthesia poses high risk for the patients.

Dexmedetomidine, ketamine, propofol intravenous infusion and other agents was used to provide monitored anesthesia care with variable success if used as solitary agents as each drug has its limited use.

Detailed Description

* Null hypothesis (H0): There are no differences between the effects of dexmedetomidine- ketamine and dexmedetomidine- propofol combination for monitored anesthesia care during burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation.

* Alternative hypothesis (H1): There are differences between the effects of dexmedetomidine- ketamine and dexmedetomidine- propofol combination for monitored anesthesia care during burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation.

dexmedetomidine- ketaminedexmedetomidine- ketaminepatients will receive combination of ketamine 1mg/kg and dexmedetomidine 1ug/kg diluted in 10 ml 0.9% saline infused over 10 min together as an intravenous bolus dose then a maintenance of 0.5ug/kg/h dexmedetomidine and ketamine 0.5 mg/kg/h continuous infusion in two separate syringes pump to achieve modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and sedation score (OAA/S) 3 and the infusion will stopped by finishing the skin suture.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The onset time of sedationwith in 30 minutes before start of surgery

The onset of sedation will be recorded. It is defined as the time from injection of sedative medications till reaching a target sedation level score 3 by modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and sedation score (OAA/S).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The extent of airway obstructionintraopertive

The extent of airway obstruction by (1= patent airway, 2= airway obstruction alleviated by jaw thrust, 3= airway obstruction alleviated by positive mask ventilation)

number of participant with complicationsintraoperative

Intraoperative complications such as hypotension (mean arterial blood pressure decreases by \> 20% of basal reading), bradycardia (HR decreases by \> 20% of basal reading) and bradypnea (RR less than 10 b/m) or hypoxemia (SpO2 less than 95%

Recovery timewith in one hour postoperative

Recovery time: time from discontinuation of infusion drugs till spontaneous eye opening.

surgeon satisfactionwith in 24 hours after surgery

surgeon satisfaction using 7- point Likert-like verbal rating scale by asking about how they evaluate their experience with anesthetic management during surgery?" score will be 6 and 7 if they are satisfied.5=very satisfied, 4=satisfied, 3= neutral, 2= unsatisfied and 1= very unsatisfied.

rescue analgesic (fentanyl)intraoperative

Total number of calling intraoperative rescue analgesic (fentanyl) in both groups will be recorded.

The Neurological status of participantsat baseline then within one hour postoperative

The Neurological status of participants will be assessed before discharge in the PACU using Markwalder's Neurological Grading scale (MNGs) and recorded:

Grade 0: no neurologic deficit Grade I: mild symptoms such as headache; absent or mild neurologic deficits such as reflex asymmetry Grade II: drowsiness or disorientation with variable neurologic deficits such as hemiparesis Grade III: stupor, but appropriate responses to noxious stimuli; severe focal signs such as hemiplegia Grade IV: coma with absence of motor response to painful stimuli; decerebrate or decorticate posturing.
