Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Dexmedetomidine - Intravenous dexmedetomidine as a continuous infusion of 0.2-2.5 mcg/kg/h titrated to effect (level of sedation) from end of surgery until weaning for extubation from mechanical ventilation.
Intervention code [1] 4061 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Propofol (standard treatment) - Intravenous propofol as a continuous infusion of 1-3 mg/kg/h titrated to effect (level of sedation) from the end of surgery until weaning for extubation from mechanical ventilation.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 5450 0
Concentration effect relationship for dexmedetomidine and sedation, blood pressure & heart rate. Concentration of drug will be measured by Liquid Chromatrogrphy-Mass Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) assay and concentration-effect relationship for Pharmacodynamic parameters will be modelled using Non Linear Mixed Effects Models.
Timepoint [1] 5450 0
0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 minutes, 2 and 3 hours following termination of drug infusion
Secondary outcome [1] 9148 0
Effect of dexmedetomidine on sleep-wake cycles and sleep disturbance in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Sleep will be measured using Actigarphy and Processed Electroencephalography (EEG) (Bisprectral Index (BIS)) monitoring.
Timepoint [1] 9148 0
Sleep will be continuously monitored for up to 2 days post-operation.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Patients will be identified from surgical lists, approched and have the study explained. If they wish to participate written informed consent will be obtained. Patients will then be randomised via sealed envelopes to receive dexmedetomidine or propofol.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation by using a randomisation table created by computer software
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?

Summary
Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the concentration effect relationship for dexmedetomidine and sedation, heart rate and blood pressure in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass as this is previously unreported. We also want to examine the effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative sleep wake cycles compared to propofol.
