About this study

Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy is the third most common cause of acute renal failure in hospitalized patients in all age groups. In this study we aimed to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on early stage renal function in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac angiography.

Methods: 60 pediatric patients between 6 and 72 months of age undergoing cardiac angiography were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups. The patients in both groups were administered 1mgkg-1 ketamine, 1mgkg-1 propofol as bolus and followed by 1 mgkg-1hour-1 ketamine and 50 µgkg-1min-1 propofol infusion. Additionally, a loading dose of 1 µgkg-1 dexmedetomidine given over 10 minutes followed by 0.5 µgkg-1hour-1 dexmedetomidine infusion to patients in group D. The patients were evaluated for NGAL, creatinine, renin, endothelin-1, TAS and TOS blood levels before the procedure and 6th and 24th hours after the procedure. pRIFLE criteria were used to define CIN and its incidence in the study.

Inclusion criteria

  • 6 and 72 months children
  • scheduled for cardiac angiography

Exclusion criteria

  • patients with renal failure or diabetes mellitus, patients who were on nephrotoxic and vasoactive drugs simultaneously, patients with decompensated congestive heart failure and patients who had been administered contrast media in the last two weeks

Treatment and study plan

Dexmedetomidine

Drug

a loading dose of 1 µg kg-1 dexmedetomidine (Precedex Abbott Labs, North Chicago, IL) IV given over 10 minutes, followed by 0.5 µg kg-1 hour-1 IV dexmedetomidine infusion were administered. Dexmedetomidine was prepared as a 1 µg ml-1 solution using D5 0.3% NaCl solution.

Other names: Precedex

ketamine

Drug

ketamine was bolused with 1 mg kg-1(IV) and followed by 1 mg kg-1 hour-1 ketamine IV infusion during the procedure.

Other names: Ketalar

Propofol

Drug

propofol was bolused 1 mg kg-1 and 50 µg kg-1 min-1 propofol (IV) infusion during the procedure.

Other names: Pofol

Primary outcomes

  1. Renal Functions,

    Time frame: Baseline, changes from baseline at 6th and 24th hours after the cardiac angiography

    The patients were evaluated for complete blood count and blood levels of creatinine (Cr), Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL), renin, endothelin-1, total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) before the procedure and 6 and 24 hours after the procedure.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Blood Pressure

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours

    After the patients were taken to the pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2).

  2. Heart rate

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours

    After the patients were taken to the pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2).

  3. peripheral oxygen saturation

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours

    After the patients were taken to the pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2).
