Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dexmedetomidine and Propofol in Children With History of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (NCT NCT01344759)

NCT ID: NCT01344759

Last Updated: 2018-08-08

Results Overview

The primary outcome measures will be the cross sectional area of the pharyngeal airway of the patients measured at two levels soft palate (nasopharyngeal) and base of the tongue (retroglossal). Magnetic resonance images of the airway were obtained during low (1 mcg/kg/hr) and high (3 mcg/kg/hr) doses of DEX or low (100 mcg/kg/m) and high (200 mcg/kg/m) doses of Propofol. All were administered through an intravenous (IV) catheter.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: during MRI within first 10 minutes of scanning

The primary outcome measures will be the cross sectional area of the pharyngeal airway of the patients measured at two levels soft palate (nasopharyngeal) and base of the tongue (retroglossal). Magnetic resonance images of the airway were obtained during low (1 mcg/kg/hr) and high (3 mcg/kg/hr) doses of DEX or low (100 mcg/kg/m) and high (200 mcg/kg/m) doses of Propofol. All were administered through an intravenous (IV) catheter.

* Once an IV is in place, atropine 10 mcg/kg will be given. Loading dose of propofol 2 mg/kg will be administered over 2 minutes followed by a continuous infusion of propofol at rate of 100 mcg/kg/minute using a syringe pump (Low dose). Baseline airway images are obtained during this time. * If a subject moves during baseline images a bolus of Propofol 0.5 mcg/kg will be given over 10 seconds and infusion rate will be increased to 120 mcg/kg/hr. If the subject moves a second time the research study will be terminated and patient will be under care of clinical team. * After the initial set of airway images are obtained, a bolus dose of propofol 2 mcg/kg will be given over 2 minutes followed by an increase in the infusion rate to 200 mcg/kg/hr (high dose).
