Intravenous Drug Usage Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Prospective, Double Masked, up and Down Sequential Method to Estimate the Median Effective Dose of Dexmedetomidine in Elective Upper Limb Lidocaine Intravenous Regional Anesthesia
Auxiliary drugs augment the effect of local anesthetic in intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA). The purpose of our study was to estimate the median effective dose (ED50) of Dexmedetomidine in elective upper limb Lidocaine 0.5% IVRA.
Since its innovation in 1908 by Dr August Bier of Germany, Intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) has stood the test of time as simple, safe and effective technique of regional anesthesia. 1 The technique entails insertion of intravenous catheter into a surgical limb before isolating it from the general circulation by tourniquet then inject local anesthetic (LA) into this isolated limb. 2 IVRA block is preferably used with short surgical procedures or maneuvers of the upper or lower extremity. Nevertheless, the technique has gained popularity for procedures of the upper extremity because of tourniquet issues like tourniquet pain, and other safety concerns that arise more often with lower extremity IVRA, essentially leakage of the of LA.3 Unfortunately, using LA solely for IVRA has not achieved optimum intraoperative analgesia or overcome the frequently reported tourniquet pain.4 A long list of adjuvants, to mention few: morphine, muscle relaxant and clonidine, have been used to augment LA action and ameliorate tourniquet pain. 5 Dexmedetomidine (DEX) a potent α 2 agonist that have unique analgesic, anxiolytic and sedative profile has been called upon as attractive adjunct in general as well as regional anesthesia with enticing results. Several studies have pursued DEX median effective dose (ED50) in different settings e.g., co induction agent with Propofol, in laryngeal muscle insertion and with local anesthetic to enhance the quality of spinal anesthesia. 6 However, DEX effective median dose ED50 with IVRA for upper limb has not been investigated elsewhere, so far. The up and down sequential method of Dixon and Mood is a common sequential design method used in anesthesia research to detect the ED50. It is a sequence of experiments performed under the assumption that "satisfactory response" is followed by decrease in test dose for the next patient in the series, and "non- satisfactory response" is followed by increase in test dose for the next patient in the series. 7 The purpose of this study is to estimate the median effective dose of Dexmedetomidine (DEX) with Lidocaine 0.5% IVRA in upper limb elective surgeries, using modified Dixon`s up and down method. ;
