Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigated the effect of dexmedetomidine in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

A prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed. Consenting obese adult patients with impaired glucose tolerance, undergoing bariatric surgery, were randomized, by a computer, to receive placebo (0.9% Sodium-chloride) or dexmedetomidine 1 ug/kg bolus in 10 minutes followed by an infusion of 0.5 ug/kg/h until the end of surgery. Baseline HgbA1c, glucose, and insulin plasmatic levels were measured. Subsequently, glucose and insulin levels were taken every 2 hours during the first 12 hours from the onset of the drug infusion. Intraoperative fentanyl and postoperative morphine consumption, pain score, the occurrence of emesis, and postoperative sedation levels were recorded as secondary outcomes. ;
