Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Gastric Emptying and Gastrointestinal Transit (GADEX)
June 3, 2010 updated by: University of Turku
Effect of Dexmedetomidine Infusion on Gastric Emptying and Gastrointestinal Transit in Healthy Volunteers
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.

Experimental: 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).

Active Comparator: 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).
