Propofol solo versus Dexmedetomidina-Propofol en niños sometidos a resonancia magnética

18 de septiembre de 2026 actualizado por: Joseph Cravero, Boston Children's Hospital

Un ensayo aleatorizado de escalado de dosis de propofol solo y dexmedetomidina-propofol en niños sometidos a resonancia magnética

The most common imaging procedure requiring sedation/anesthesia for the pediatric population is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the optimal anesthetic/sedation plan has not been determined for these procedures. Historically, common medications have included the use of pentobarbital and propofol, but in 2015, publication in the New England Journal of Medicine highlighted the accumulating evidence for the possible neurotoxic effects of these types of anesthetics in animal models and a collection of epidemiologic studies in humans. Although these initial possibilities have since been proven as less of a concern, in the interim, data has shown that alternative sedative agents, such as dexmedetomidine, may not have the same neurotoxic effect and could possibly even provide neuroprotection. Dexmedetomidine also possesses other beneficial traits such as reducing risks of pulmonary atelectasis or upper airway collapse, typically found with the administration of propofol.

A concern raised by previous studies has been the possibility that the addition of dexmedetomidine could increase recovery times, leading to disruptions in workflow. Although it has been shown that large doses of dexmedetomidine exposure may lead to longer PACU stays, it is uncertain whether a small dose of dexmedetomidine would have such a significant impact. Based on the investigators' pilot trial6, the investigators found that a bolus of 1 mcg/kg dose of dexmedetomidine with a bolus of titrated propofol of 2-3 mg/kg and an infusion of propofol of 100 mcg/kg/min provided adequate sedation for successful scans, reduced propofol (infusion) exposure by 60%, and did not significantly increase recovery times.

Finally, there is a paucity in literature for studies examining a range of doses subsequently; often, a control group is compared to a single, self-selected dose of choice. Here, the investigators hope to provide a range of doses to minimize selection bias in our study design and determine the dose that would provide the optimal sedation for these scans and minimize excess anesthetic exposure.

Intervención / Tratamiento
Comparador activo: Propofol Only (P)

1 mg/kg (max 25 kg) of IV lidocaine (standard of care) will be given. 2-4 mg/kg titrated bolus of propofol will be administered, which can be repeated 2x until a Ramsay Sedation Score of 5-6 is achieved. After that, 250 mcg/kg/min infusion of propofol will be initiated and can be titrated up to a maximum of 300 mcg/kg/min to maintain a Ramsay Sedation Score of 5-6. If not sedated after 5 more minutes, record a technique failure and continue sedation at anesthesiologist's discretion. Per standard of care, the propofol infusion may be decreased if the blood pressure decreases by more than 30% from lowest expected norms or if there is any indication of possible airway obstruction.

If patient is randomized to the P arm, patient will receive 2-4 mg/kg titrated, IV bolus of propofol until sleep is induced.

Comparador activo: Dexmedetomidine (high)-Propofol (DHP)

1 mcg/kg dexmedetomidine (DEX) bolus over 5-10 minutes will be delivered by fractionated doses or infusion. After the DEX bolus is complete, 1 mg/kg (max 25 mg) of IV lidocaine will be administered followed by a dose of 2-3 mg/kg titrated bolus of propofol (P), which can be repeated 2x until a Ramsay Sedation Score of 5-6 is achieved. After this, 150 mcg/kg/min infusion of P will be initiated. If the Ramsay Sedation score of 5-6 is not achieved within 2 minutes, 1-2 mg/kg bolus of P may be administered and P infusion will be increased to 200 mcg/kg/min. The P infusion can be titrated up to a maximum of 300 mcg/kg/min if needed to maintain a Ramsay Sedation Score of 5-6. If not sedated after 5 more minutes, record a technique failure and continue sedation at anesthesiologist's discretion. Per standard of care, the propofol infusion may be decreased if the blood pressure decreases by more than 30% from lowest expected norms or if there is any indication of possible airway obstruction.

If patient is randomized to the DHP arm, patient will receive an IV bolus of 1 mcg/kg dexmedetomidine over 5 minutes.
