The Effect of Dexmedetomine Premedication on the Bispectral Index Values Using Sedation With Propofol During Spinal Anesthesia on Geriatric Chronic Renal Failure Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery The Effect of Dexmedetomine Premedication on the Bispectral Index Values Using Sedation With Propofol During Spinal Anesthesia on Geriatric Chronic Renal Failure Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery

Description:

Patients will be randomized into two separate groups.Group Dexmedetomidine (Group D):
Midazolam 0.02 mg/kg + 0.5 μg/kg/10 min dexmedetomidine infusion for premedication; Spinal
block (Hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% 12.5 mg) (n=30) Group Control (Group C): Midazolam 0.02
mg/kg + saline infusion for premedication; Spinal block (Hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% 12.5mg)
(n=30)

In this randomized double-blinded study, drugs will be prepared by an anesthesia technician
who is not part of the study. The patients will be monitored with a pulse-oxymeter, 5-channel
ECG, noninvasive blood pressure and BIS at the preoperative preparation room. BIS monitoring
electrodes will be placed on the forehead of the patient. Study drugs will be administered to
the patient by another anesthesiologist who is also not taking part in the study at the
preparation room preoperatively. Dexmedetomidine (0.5 μg/kg) in 20 ml saline will be
administered in 10 minutes, with an infusion pump. An equivalent volume of saline solution
will be given to the control group with same method. Baseline, 1., 3., 5., 10., minute BIS
SpO2, systolic, diastolic and mean arteriel pressure values will be recorded. At this period
500 ml of 0.9% NaCl will be infused. The patient will then be transported to the operating
room with the supervision of this anesthesiologist. The intraoperative and postoperative
follow-up of the patients will be performed by another anesthesiologist who has been blinded
to the study drugs as well as the group distribution. Routine anesthesia monitoring will be
performed with pulse-oxymeter, 5-lead ECG, noninvasive blood pressure measurement, pulse
oxymetry and BIS. Before induction of the spinal block basal systolic, diastolic and mean
blood pressures, heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation and BIS values will be recorded.
Lumbar puncture will be performed in lateral decubitis position with a Quincke 27 gauge
spinal needle at the L3-L4 interspaces using the midline approach. Patients will be promptly
rotated supine position after block induction. Induction of the spinal block will be accepted
as 0 for all intraoperative data recordings. Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures,
heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation and BIS values will be recorded at 1.,3. 5. minutes
and every 5 minutes for the first hour and following that every 15 minutes during surgery.

Hypotension will be described as a drop off in systolic pressure by greater then 25% from the
baseline or in case systolic blood pressure decreases below 90 mm Hg, 5 mg ephedrine will be
administered intravenously and the rate of crystalloid infusion will be increased.

The sensorial block level and the motor block level will be tested with the pinprick test and
Bromage scale (Bromage Scale; 0: No motor block: full flexion of knee and foot, 1: Inability
to raise extended leg. Just able to move knee, 2: Inability to flex knee. Able to move foot
only, 3: Inability to flex ankle joint. Unable to move foot or knee), respectively. Propofol
infusion will be started in all patients at a dose of 50 mcg/kg/min after the level of block
arises to T10 dermatome level. Target BIS values will be between 70 and 80. Infusion rate
will be titrate to provide the targeted BIS levels.The time when BIS < 80 will be recorded. In case BIS<70, propofol infusion rate will be reduced. ''Observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (OAA/S)'' scale (OAAS score 5—awake and responds readily to name spoken in normal tone, OAAS score 4—lethargic responses to name in normal tone, OAAS score 3—responds only after name is called loudly and/or repeatedly, OAAS score 2—responds only after name called loudly and mild shaking, OAAS score 1—does not respond when name is called loudly and mild shaking or prodding, OAAS score 0—does not respond to noxious stimulation) will be used for evaluating the level of sedation, with a target of OAA/S ≤ 5. OAA/S scores will be registered at the same time points. Propofol infusion will be ended at the beginning of skin suturing, and BIS>90 time will be recorded.

Patients will be monitored at the postoperative care unit and all monitoring parameters (MAP,
SAP, DAP, BIS, OASS) will be registered at every 5 minutes for one hour. Criteria for
transferring the ward are BIS>90, OAA/S=5, Bromage=0-1 Duration of the surgery, the amount of
bleeding, vasoactive drug need, the time necessary to reach the targeted level of sedation
(BIS≤80), the amount of propofol infusion, propofol dose required for targeted BIS levels and
the total propofol consumption recovery time (BIS>90) first analgesic requirement time (VAS:
Visual Analogue Scale;0=no pain, 10=worst pain possible,VAS≥3) and the complications will be
recorded. Side effects and possible complications during the intraoperative period and the
postoperative follow-up include: hypotension (SBP<90 mmHg), bradycardia (CR < 60/min), hypoxia (SpO2≤ 94 %), nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression will be recorded and the necessary medical interventions will be administered.
