研究概览
简要总结
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of dexmedetomidine infusion on gastric emptying and oro-caecal transit time in healthy volunteers, judged by measuring plasma paracetamol concentrations after paracetamol ingestion and pulmonary hydrogen measurement technique after lactulose ingestion. The effects of dexmedetomidine will be compared to the effects of morphine and placebo.

研究组 & 干预措施
Dexmedetomidine
The study subjects will be given a normal loading dose (1 μg/kg in 20 minutes) of dexmedetomidine (dexmedetomidine hydrochloride 100 μg/ml, Precedex® Abbott Laboratories North Chicago, IL 60064, USA) followed by continuous infusion of 0.7 μg/kg/h for 190 min. The administration of the loading dose will be started at t = -30 min (30 min prior to the administration of paracetamol and lactulose).
干预措施: Dexmedetomidine (Drug)
Morphine
The study subjects will be given 0.10 mg/kg morphine hydrochloride (morphine hydrochloride 2 mg/ml, Morphin® Nycomed Austria GmbH, St. Peter Strasse 25, A-4021, Linz, Austria) in 20 minutes followed by a placebo infusion for 190 min. The administration of the morphine infusion will be started at t = -30 min (30 min prior to the administration of paracetamol and lactulose).
干预措施: Morphine (Drug)
Placebo
The study subjects will be given a saline infusion.
干预措施: Placebo (Drug)

5 ml venous blood samples will be collected immediately prior to administration of paracetamol (baseline) and thereafter at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 210 and 240 min into EDTA tubes for determination of paracetamol plasma concentrations. End-expiratory breath samples will be obtained immediately prior to administration of lactulose (baseline) and thereafter at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 min.
