Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to conduct a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial to scientifically evaluate the safety and efficacy of different perioperative sedation methods during endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation.
Detailed Description
In the perioperative period of endovascular thrombectomy, the main sedation options are midazolam (MDZ) and dexmedetomidine (DEX). Research has shown that both sedation methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and there is no consensus on how to choose between them. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial to scientifically evaluate the safety and efficacy of different perioperative sedation methods during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in AIS patients with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and hopes to contribute to the advancement of EVT in clinical practice. In this trial, acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation within 24 hours of symptom onset or last known well will be included. In the screening stage, participants who meet the inclusion criteria of the trial, upon completion of screening/baseline assessment and after signing the informed consent, will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following two treatment groups: the dexmedetomidine and midazolam conscious sedation groups. The primary end point is the proportion of modified Ranking score of 0-2 at 90 days.

Arms & Interventions
the dexmedetomidine group
In the experimental group, dexmedetomidine is used for intraoperative sedation. Dexmedetomidine is prepared as an 8μg/ml intravenous infusion. It begins with an initial loading dose of 1μg/kg, administered over a period exceeding 10 minutes.If dexmedetomidine fails to achieve a satisfactory level of sedation during surgery, physicians may opt for rescue sedation with propofol or consider transferring the patient to general anesthesia. Propofol (20ml 0.2g) starts with a loading dose of 0.3mg/(kg\*h) and a maintenance dose of 0.3-4mg/(kg\*h). The infusion rate can be adjusted based on the sedation effect to achieve the appropriate level of sedation during EVT.
Intervention: Dexmedetomidine
the midazolam group
In the control group, midazolam is used for intraoperative sedation. Midazolam is prepared as a 1mg/ml intravenous infusion. It starts with an initial intravenous push of 0.05mg/kg, followed by a maintenance dose of 0.04-0.2mg/kg administered intravenously via an infusion pump. If midazolam fails to achieve a satisfactory level of sedation during surgery, physicians may opt for rescue sedation with propofol or consider transferring the patient to general anesthesia. Propofol (20ml 0.2g) starts with a loading dose of 0.3mg/(kg\*h) and a maintenance dose of 0.3-4mg/(kg\*h). The infusion rate can be adjusted based on the sedation effect to achieve the appropriate level of sedation during EVT.
Intervention: Midazolam
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The proportion of mRS score 0-2 at 90 days
Time Frame: 90 days after randomization
mRS is short for modified Ranking score (ranging from 0 to 6, with higher values indicating a worse functional outcome).
Secondary Outcomes
- Shift in the distribution of mRS scores at 90 days(90 days after randomization)
- The proportion of mRS score 0-1 at 90 days(90 days after randomization)
- The proportion of mRS score 0-3 at 90 days(90 days after randomization)
- Rates of successful recanalization(Immediately after the thrombectomy procedure is completed)
- Score on the ASPECTS at 24-72 hours(24-72 hours after randomization)
- RASS score ≤ -3 during procedure(During operation)
- RASS score ≤ 0 during procedure(During operation)
- Changes of the GCS score at 24 hours(24 hours after randomization)
- Changes of the NIHSS score at 24 hours(24 hours after randomization)
- Changes of the GCS score at 5-7 days(5-7 days after randomization)
- Changes of the NIHSS score at 5-7 days(5-7 days after randomization)
- Barthel Index at 90 days(90 days after randomization)
