Keywords
Hemodynamic response, Skull pins application, Dexmedetomidine, Fentanyl
Brief summary
To compare the effect between dexmedetomidine and fentanyl for controlling the hemodynamic response to skull pins application
Detailed description
A randomized, double-blinded controlled trial was conducted from September 2015 to September 2016 in Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Sixty patients who underwent craniotomy with insertion of skull pin were randomly allocated into group A and B. After patients entered the operative room, blood pressure and heart rate were measured (T1) then repeated measurement again (T2) when started induction, intubation and infusion dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg over 10 min infusion in group A whereas group B received normal saline. At 3 minutes before skull pin insertion (T3), patient in group B received a single bolus of fentanyl 1 µg/kg whereas group A received normal saline. Then hemodynamic responses were recorded and repeated again at one minute before skull pin insertion (T4). Blood pressure and heart rate were observed at the time of skull pin insertion (T5) then repeated every 1 minutes after skull pin application until 5 minutes (T6 - T10).
Interventions
Dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg diluted to 20 ml with 0.9% normal saline was administration. If adverse events were occurred, the patient will receive rescue drugs.
Fentanyl 1 µg/kg diluted to 2 ml with 0.9% normal saline was administration. If adverse events were occurred, the patient will receive rescue drugs.
0.9% normal saline was use to dilute the study drugs
Skull pins were use to stabilized the patent' s head during surgery

Study design
Masking description
After written informed consents were obtained, all participant was blinded from the study drug. The study drugs (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) were prepared by anesthetist nurse who not involved in the study. Dexmedetomidine was labeled with group A whereas fentanyl was labeled with group B. The study drug was administrated by the blinded anesthiologist. Blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate were recorded by same blinded anesthesiologist

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in blood pressure | Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4) , time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10). | Blood pressure was recorded by the blinded anesthesiologist |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in mean arterial pressure | Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4), time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10). | Mean arterial pressure was recorded by the blinded anesthesiologist |
| Change in heart rate | Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4), time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10). | Heart rate was recorded by the blinded anesthesiologist |
| adverse events | Baseline in time frame before pin insertion (T1-T4), time during pin insertion (T5), repeated measurement time every 1 minute until 5 minutes after pin applications (T6-T10). | Adverse events were recorded by the blinded anesthesiologist. Rescue drugs were give when adverse events were occurred. Rescue drug include propofol (for hypertension), ephedrine(for hypotension), esmolol (for tachycardia), atropine (for bradycardia) |
