Conditions

Neurocognitive Function of Elderly Patients

Keywords

neurocognitive function, POCD, Dexmedetomidine, lidocaine

Brief summary

dexmedetomidine infusion or lidocaine infusion starting before induction of intravenous general anesthesia and continue as infusion intraoperative can reduce postoperative cognitive dysfunction incidence (primary outcome), postoperative cognitive dilirium, postoperative pain, opioid consumption, postoperative inflammatory response and postoperative adverse events (secondary outcomes) in elderly patients undergoing ERCP.

Detailed description

Randomization will be achieved using a computer-generated random sequence, and group allocation will be concealed using opaque, sealed envelopes. Both patients and study staff, including those administering the interventions and assessing outcomes will be blinded to the group assignments. The tested syringes will be prepared by the responsible nurse in equal volumes of 50 ml. All data of the patients will be confidential with secret codes and private file for each patient, all given data will be used for the current medical research only. The prefilled 50 mL syringes will contain either dexmedetomidine 4 µg/mL or lidocaine 10 mg/mL or NaCl 0.9%. Ten minutes before anesthesia induction all patients will receive an IV infusion at a rate of 0.9mL/kg/h for 10 minutes. This rate corresponds to 0.6 µg/kg dexmedetomidine or 1.5 mg/kg lidocaine. Afterwards, all patients will receive an infusion at a rate of 0.15mL/kg/h until the end of procedure; this rate corresponds to 1.5 mg/kg/h of lidocaine or 0.6 µg/kg/h of dexmedetomidine.

Interventions

DRUGDexmedetomidine

patients will receive 0.6 µg/kg dexmedetomidine bolus 10 min before induction then it will be infused intravenously at a rate of 0.6 μg/Kg/h. until end of surgery.

DRUGlidocaine

patients will be received 1.5 mg/kg lidocaine bolus 10min before induction of anaesthesia, followed by continuous infusion at a rate of 1.5 mg/Kg/h until end of surgery.

DRUGnormal saline

patients will receive 0.9% isotonic saline bolus followed by IV infusion at a rate of 0.9 ml/Kg/h till the end of surgery.

Masking description

Randomization will be achieved using a computer-generated random sequence, and group allocation will be concealed using opaque, sealed envelopes. Both patients and study staff, including those administering the interventions and assessing outcomes will be blinded to the group assignments. The tested syringes will be prepared by the responsible nurse in equal volumes of 50 ml. All data of the patients will be confidential with secret codes and private file for each patient, all given data will be used for the current medical research only.

Intervention model description

patiants will randomly assigned into 3 groups : lidocaine group , dexmedetomidene group , control group ( receive normal saline).

Exclusion criteria

:will involve patients lacking informed consents, with severe cardiovascular, respiratory, central nervous system, or kidney dysfunction, communication or assessment impairments, and suspected severe neurocognitive impairment (MMSE score \<24). patients with anticipated airway difficulties, alcohol or drug dependence, current sedative, antidepressant, or corticosteroid use, allergy to dexmedetomidine, lidocaine or other used anesthetics, baseline heart rate less than 50 beats per minute due to bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, or second-degree or higher atrioventricular block without a pacemaker. \-
