Dexmedetomidine vs Propofol TIVA and Interscalene Block for Shoulder Surgeries in a Beach Chair Sitting Position
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Dexmedetomidine, Propofol, and 1 other intervention for Shoulder Pain. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The standard hospital procedure calls for the patient to undergo Interscalene block under ultrasound with or without nerve stimulation guidance prior to going to operating room (OR). The block utilizes a 40 ml mixture of 0.5% Ropivacaine and Lidocaine 1.5%. At this time the patient receives preliminary sedation with Midazolam 1mg IV and Fentanyl 50 mcg IV. The participant is then brought to the OR and prolonged sedation is initiated, randomly using either Dexmedetomidine or Propofol. The primary objective of the present study is to use Dexmedetomidine for sedation, and compare the outcomes with Propofol sedation. The investigators will enroll 50 patients for this study. Our hypothesis is that Dexmedetomidine will cause fewer episodes of intermittent apnea, and reduced need for supplemental medication for sedation, compared to Propofol
