The Effects of Preoperative Intranasal Administration of Dexmedetomidine and Esketamine on Negative Postoperative Behavioral Changes in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether intranasal sedation given before anesthesia can lower negative postoperative behavioral changes in children with autism spectrum disorder who undergo elective surgery. The study will compare two commonly used sedative medicines with a saline control. It will also examine the safety of these medicines and explore how brain electrical activity duri...
Effect of Perioperative Dexmedetomidine Infusion on Anesthetic Requirements and Quality of Emergence in Patients Undergoing Thyroid Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Summary: Thyroid surgery requires smooth emergence from anesthesia to minimize coughing, hemodynamic fluctuations, and agitation during extubation, which may contribute to postoperative complications such as bleeding or cervical hematoma. Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, has sedative, analgesic-sparing, and sympatholytic properties that may improve anesthetic stability and recov...
A Randomized Trial of Liposomal Bupivacaine, Ropivacaine With Perineural Dexamethasone, and Ropivacaine With Perineural Dexmedetomidine for Adductor Canal Block Combined With IPACK Block in Total Knee Arthroplasty
Summary: Effective postoperative pain management remains a cornerstone of enhanced recovery protocols following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Inadequate analgesia not only compromises patient satisfaction but also impedes early mobilization and rehabilitation, thereby increasing the risk of perioperative complications. Current multimodal analgesic strategies frequently incorporate regional techniques, wit...
Prevention/Reduction of ASRs and PTSD to Sustain Civilian Performance With a Sublingual Formulation of Dexmedetomidine (BXCL501)
Summary: This study will examine the safety and efficacy of BXCL501 to reduce ASR symptoms and behavioral changes among patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) after Motor Vehicle Collision (MVC). Specifically, the investigators will perform the BXCL501 (BASIS) Trial, a double-blind placebo-controlled Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to determine if BXCL501 (dexmedetomidine hydrochloride subl...
Impact of Perioperative Dexmedetomidine and Esketamine on Postoperative Quality of Recovery in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia and Surgery: A 2×2 Factorial Randomized Trial
Summary: For patients after surgery, quality of recovery has significant impacts on the prognosis, quality of life, and rational allocation of medical resources. Dexmedetomidine and esketamine have each been used during the perioperative period and improved postoperative analgesia and subjective sleep quality. This 2x2 factorial trial is designed to explore the effects of dexmedetomidine, esketamine, and t...
Effect of Two Different Doses of Intranasal Dexmedetomidine on the Incidence of Emergence Agitation in Children Undergoing Strabismus Surgery , A Randomized Clinical Trial
Summary: Dexmedetomidine is a selective a-2 adrenergic agonist that provides sedative and analgesic effects. Intranasal dexmedetomidine has a slower and gradual onset compared to intravenous injection , with low incidence of nasal discomfort. Dexmedetomidine was tested at various doses and modes of administration, as well as different types of surgery and co-anesthetic drugs, as a single injection or conti...
A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Evaluation of the Dexmedetomidine Transdermal Systems for Agitation Associated With Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type
Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of DMTS on frequency and severity of agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type, compared with placebo.
The Analgesic Effect of Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine With Bupivacaine, in Patients Undergoing Knee Orthopedic Surgery: A Randomized Double-Blinded Dose-Finding Trial
Summary: This study aims to compare the duration of analgesia (as the primary outcome) and adverse effects (as the secondary outcome) after intrathecal administration of dexmedetomidine with hyperbaric bupivacaine to patients undergoing knee orthopedic surgery.
The Effect of Dormicum-Ketamine Versus Dexmedetomidine on Emergence Delirium During Deep Sedation in Paediatric Burn Patients
Summary: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of dormicum-ketamine versus dexmedetomidine on postoperative emergence delirium in pediatric patients undergoing deep sedation for burn-related procedures
Impact of Intranasal Dexmedetomidine-esketamine Administration on Postoperative Pain in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy: a Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial
Summary: Postoperative pain after adenoid and tonsil surgery is significant, with approximately 75% of pediatric patients experiencing severe postoperative pain. Currently, there is a lack of clinical strategies to safely and effectively manage postoperative pain in children undergoing adenoid and tonsil surgery. Dexmedetomidine and esketamine can achieve appropriate sedation levels and alleviate postopera...
The Effect of Nocturnal Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Sleep Quality and Fatigue After Major Surgery in Elderly Patients: DEXSLEEP Study
Summary: In the aftermath of major surgery, many patients suffer from pain, fatigue, reduced general well-being, and cognitive dysfunction. Another common concern after major surgery is sleep impairment and there is little known about its effect on postoperative morbidity, especially postoperative fatigue and muscle function. Dexmedetomidine has been shown to possibly improve postoperative sleep quality in...
The Effect of Intranasal Dexmedetomidine Compared to Placebo on Blood Pressure in Elderly Hypertensive Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
