chloral hydrate and Down Syndrome

chloral hydrate has been researched along with Down Syndrome in 1 studies

Down Syndrome: A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra chromosome 21 or an effective trisomy for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include hypotonia, short stature, brachycephaly, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, Simian crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.

Trial Outcomes

Needed Artificial Airway

This is the count of the number of patients who needed an artificial airway. (NCT01344759)
Timeframe: During MRI and until recovery room discharge - approximately 30-250 minutes

InterventionNumber of artifical airway events (Number)
Mild OSA and Dexmedetomidine0
Mild OSA and Propofol1
Moderate OSA and Dexmedetomidine1
Moderate OSA and Propofol1
Severe OSA and Dexmedetomidine2
Severe OSA and Propofol5

Obstructive Index Until Recovery Room Discharge

The Obstructive Index is a count of the obstructive apnea events per hour of sleep (NCT01344759)
Timeframe: During MRI and until recovery room discharge - approximately 30-250 minutes

InterventionApnea events/hour of sleep (Mean)
Mild OSA and Dexmedetomidine4.2
Mild OSA and Propofol3.0
Moderate OSA and Dexmedetomidine8.0
Moderate OSA and Propofol8.0
Severe OSA and Dexmedetomidine16.7
Severe OSA and Propofol17.1

Respiratory Disturbance Index

The respiratory disturbance index is a count of respiratory disturbance events per hour of sleep. (NCT01344759)
Timeframe: During MRI and until recovery room discharge - approximately 30-250 minutes

Interventionrespir.disturbance events/hr of sleep (Mean)
Mild OSA and Dexmedetomidine5.1
Mild OSA and Propofol3.2
Moderate OSA and Dexmedetomidine8.8
Moderate OSA and Propofol7.1
Severe OSA and Dexmedetomidine16.6
Severe OSA and Propofol25.2

Room Air SpO2

The patient's oxygen saturation on room air. (NCT01344759)
Timeframe: During MRI and until recovery room discharge - approximately 30-250 minutes

Interventionpercentage of SpO2 (Mean)
Mild OSA and Dexmedetomidine87.2
Mild OSA and Propofol88.0
Moderate OSA and Dexmedetomidine86.3
Moderate OSA and Propofol89.0
Severe OSA and Dexmedetomidine84.0
Severe OSA and Propofol88.0

Cross Sectional Area of the Pharyngeal Airway

The primary outcome measures will be the cross sectional area of the pharyngeal airway of the patients measured at two levels soft palate (nasopharyngeal) and base of the tongue (retroglossal). Magnetic resonance images of the airway were obtained during low (1 mcg/kg/hr) and high (3 mcg/kg/hr) doses of DEX or low (100 mcg/kg/m) and high (200 mcg/kg/m) doses of Propofol. All were administered through an intravenous (IV) catheter. (NCT01344759)
Timeframe: during MRI within first 10 minutes of scanning
