The aim of this randomized trial is to determine efficacy of dexmedetomidine in improving quality of recovery in pediatric patients undergoing interventional catheter closure of ASD while maintaining the hemodynamic parameters. Additionally he stress reducing effects of dexmedetomidine will be investigated in this population .
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does Dexmedetomidine maintain stable hemodynamics in pediatric patients undergoing transcatheter ASD Closure while improving their quality of recovery?
Does dexmedetomidine prolong duration of recovery and time to extubation in pediatric patients ?
Does dexmedetomidine exert stress reducing properties in this population?
Participants will:
Either be administered Dexmedetomidine in a loading/maintenance regimen or a placebo, with hemodynamics being monitored at the baseline, intraoperatively and postoperatively, with recovery time and quality of recovery especially emergence delirium being monitored. Stress hormone levels will be sampled at baseline and postoperatively.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital anomalies in pediatric and even in adult population, it is associated with a left-to-right shunt resulting in right ventricular (RV) volume overload and increase in pulmonary blood flow eventually culmination in right ventricular heart failure (RVHF) and pulmonary hypertension.
Percutaneous closure of ASD was devised nearly a half century ago, and now constitutes a viable alternative to the standard approach of surgical closure. Anesthesia for pediatric patients undergoing percutaneous closure involves a spectrum from sedation to general anesthesia using a variety of drugs according to institutional protocol.
Stress response represents the sum of metabolic nd hormonal perturbations initiated by the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis in response to the surgical stimulus.
Dexmedetomidine is an α2-adrenoreceptor agonist possessing stress ameliorating effects exerted on the central sympathetic outflow. It can be used either alone in sedation or as supplementation to general anesthesia. It possesses a remarkable hemodynamic stability profile and due to its prolonged duration of action, it plays a significant role in reducing emergence delirium.
This study aims at evaluating utility of dexmedetomidine as a supplementary agent to general anesthesia on hemodynamic stability / cardiac output, reduction of pediatric emergence delirium and stress hormone levels in pediatric patients undergoing transcatheter closure of ASD.
