Effect of Intraoperative Dexmedetomidine on Lung Protection Following Thoracic Aorta Surgery With Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest: a Randomized Clinical Trial

August 11, 2019 updated by: Young Song, Gangnam Severance Hospital
Dexmedetomidine has been known to protect the lung against inflammation and oxidative stress in diverse clinical settings. The investigators aimed to investigate the lung protective effect of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest, which is associated with systemic inflammatory response, and oxidative stress.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients will be divided into 2 groups; dexmedetomidine group and control group. Dexmedetomidine group will receive dexmedetomidine during and after thoracic artery surgery. And control group will receive the same amount of normal saline instead. Analyzing patients lung function and serum factors, which indicates the degree of systemic inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, The investigators will investigate the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on lung.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes of lung oxygenation from baseline to 24 hr after reperfusion
Time Frame: after induction of anesthesia / after reperfusion 1hr / after reperfusion 6hr / after reperfusion 12hr / after reperfusion 24hr
Lung oxygenation will be assessed by arterial blood gas analysis
after induction of anesthesia / after reperfusion 1hr / after reperfusion 6hr / after reperfusion 12hr / after reperfusion 24hr
Changes of lung compliance from baseline to 24 hr after reperfusion
Time Frame: after induction of anesthesia / after reperfusion 1hr / after reperfusion 6hr / after reperfusion 12hr / after reperfusion 24hr
Lung compliance will be displayed on the ventilator
after induction of anesthesia / after reperfusion 1hr / after reperfusion 6hr / after reperfusion 12hr / after reperfusion 24hr
