Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparing the effectiveness of "dexmedetomidine and midazolam" with "fentanyl and midazolam" in the speed of achieving sufficient sedation, determining the amount of drug needed to achieve sufficient sedation, determining hemodynamic changes in central venous catheter placement in the Pediatric Intensive Carr Unit (PICU)
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 50 patients
Settings and conduct
This randomized clinical trial is conducted to compare the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine and midazolam with fentanyl and midazolam in central venous catheter placement in the PICU of BuAli Hospital. People are randomly selected by age block and divided into two intervention and control groups in parallel. Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl drugs are prepared and coded in 10 cc syringes in the same composition by the pharmacist on the days when the patient needs catheterization. The patient and the researchers do not know the type of contents of the syringes.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Children 1 month to 18 years needing central venous catheter placement in the PICU are included
Intervention groups
In the intervention group, 1 μg/kg intravenous dexmedetomidine is prescribed for ten minutes along with 0.1 mg/kg injectable midazolam as a loading dose. Dexmedetomidine infusion continues at a rate of 1 μg/kg/hour. The control group recieves the general protocol of the PICU of BuAli Hospital and for sedation, receives fentanyl at a dose of 1 μg/kg for 10 minutes along with midazolam at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg during the procedure. Fentanyl infusion continues at a rate of 1 μg/kg/h.
Main outcome variables
Primary outcome: reaching Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) equal to 3 or more; Secondary outcome: end of catheterization

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
After meeting the inclusion criteria for the study, randomization is done by simple randomization method with age block. Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl drugs are similarly prepared and coded in a 10 mL syringe by a pharmacist and provided to the researcher. The patient and the treatment team will not know the nature of the contents of the syringes, and the desired syringe will be delivered to the treatment team daily based on the initial group determined. Only at the end of the study or in case of a complication that requires therapeutic intervention and knowing the name of the drug, the drug code is decoded by the researcher and the name of the drug is provided to the doctor. Before assigning the individuals in groupa, the assigned group is not clear.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The study will be conducted in a double-blind manner. Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl drugs are similarly prepared and coded in a 10 mL syringe by a pharmacist and kept in the refrigerator until use. The patient, the prescribing nurse and the doctor are not aware of the type of therapeutic combination used. Only at the end of the study or in case of a complication that requires therapeutic intervention and knowing the name of the drug, the drug code is decoded by the researcher and the name of the drug is provided to the doctor.
