Dexmedetomidine is a unique sedative medication able to provide sedation without causing respiratory depression and maintaining neurological functions. Patients having an acute ischemic stroke and need to undergo endovascular therapy require constant assessment of their neurological status prior, during and after the interventional procedure. In this study the investigators will compare the efficacy of Dexmedetomidine to other standard sedative medications in providing optimal sedative effect while maintaining neurological function.
Precedex is a unique FDA-approved intravenous medication for conscious sedation in that it allows for "arousable" sedation, which is particularly appealing for use in patients with compromised neurologic function. While Precedex has been shown to be equivalent, if not superior to, conventional sedation in the procedural setting, it has not yet been evaluated in the setting of endovascular treatment of acute stroke. This setting is particularly ripe for evaluation, as there is currently controversy over the best method for management of patient sedation in light of the auxiliary need to preserve neurologic function. In order to evaluate the benefit of Precedex in this setting, it must be compared to the usual standard of care. Through the investigators double blinded randomized trial, the investigators will obtain information on the comparison between two arms, one receiving Precedex and the other the usual standard of care at the investigators institution, for achieving and maintaining a pre-defined level of conscious sedation, while preserving baseline neurologic status. This assessment will optimistically serve as the basis for future large-scale studies and ultimately to the establishment of Precedex as a first-line sedative in the management of acute stroke and cerebral vasospasm patients undergoing endovascular intervention.

| Dexmedetomidine arm | Experimental | Precedex will be started after randomization/prior to catheterization and will be stopped at the end of the procedure. It will be used for an average of 90 minutes and will be used as a continuous intravenous infusion started at 0.3 mcg/kg/hour. If HR > 80 and BP > 120/70, a full loading dose (1.0 mcg/kg/hour) will be administered over 10 minutes. If HR is 60 - 80 or systolic BP is 90 - 120, or age > 65 years, a reduced loading dose of 0.5 mcg/kg will be given over 10 minutes. If no volume overload history, 500mL of colloid (hespan or albumin) will be bolused with 0.2mg of glycopyrrolate. Every 10 minutes, Precedex will be titrated by 0.1 mcg/kg/hour to achieve and maintain RASS of 0 to -1. |
|
| Control arm | Active Comparator | Our usual standard of care is to attempt the intervention without sedation. As per attending physician discretion, Fentanyl (50mcg) and/or Midazolam (0.5 mg) intravenous boluses will be used to control aggressive patient movement that adversely affects the technical capacity of the procedure. The boluses will be repeated at interval of 10 minutes, as necessary. Control arm patients will receive a normal saline placebo drip for the purposes of ensuring patient assessor blindness. |

| Numbers of Patient Movements (Events) That Delay or Adversely Affect the Procedure Performance and Safety. | Patient will be continuously monitored for movements that delays or adversely affect the performance of the procedure by the patient assessor in a safe and timely manner (an event). One minute interval between patient event assessments will be given to prevent subjective bias. After every one minute, it will be determined if an event has occurred. Over the length of the procedure, the total number of one-minute intervals with an event occurrence will be summed and then divided by the total of minutes in the procedure to obtain a standardized value as the primary outcome. This will allow for direct comparison of values across the procedures of varying length. This approach will be more systematic and more easily replicable than counting events directly, which requires interpretation as to when a movement event begins and ends, which can be difficult and more subjective. | Primary outcome will be assessed during the procedure, up to 4 hours. |

Both arms will be assessed by the patient assessor with RASS score measurement at baseline and every 20 minutes thereafter for the length of the procedure (up to 8 hours) and then averaged together to get one over all score . In the Dexmedetomidine arm the drug will be titrated by 0.1mcg/Kg/hour by the treating physician clinical judgment, in order to achieve and maintain RASS of 0 - 1. In the control arm the drug adjustment will not be based on the RASS score, but by physician discretion only. It is a 10-point scale to determine sedation, with a score from +4 (very combative, violent, dangerous to staff) to -5 (unarousable, no response to voice or physical stimulation). |
