Study summary

How does Lusedra compare with current standard of care (midazolam) for minimal to moderate sedation for regional anesthesia blocks prior to orthopedic surgery?

Read the detailed description

The study overall is aimed at establishing the superiority of a single intravenous bolus-dose of Lusedra for routine use in preoperative regional blocks that avoids deeper levels of sedation and increased risk of nerve damage in an over-sedated individual. The shorter half-life of Lusedra should also demonstrate a superior recovery profile compared to midazolam when used as a rescue comparator. While this study will only enroll patients undergoing regional blocks prior to orthopedic surgery, the clinical utility and value of the larger initial intravenous dosing for Lusedra may be evident for many different monitored anesthesia care anesthetic management situations requiring rapid and effective onset of effects.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Sedation Within 4 Minutes

    Percentage of patients achieving a Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score less than or equal to 4, and the block procedure initiated, within 4 minutes of the administration of the first bolus of study drug. The Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale ranges from 0 (does not respond to deep stimulus) to 6 (agitated). The score of 4 equals "lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone."

    Time frame: approximately 4 minutes after administration of first bolus of study drug

Adverse events

Collected over Patients were followed for adverse events from the time of drug administration until entry into the operating room. Patients were sedated again for the surgery. We only studied the first sedation.. Non-serious events are listed at a 0% frequency threshold.
