Dexmedetomidine extraction by the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit: results from an in vitro study.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Dexmedetomidine is a sedative administered to minimize distress and decrease the risk of life threatening complications in children supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit can extract drug and decrease drug exposure, placing the patient at risk of therapeutic failure.

Objective

To determine the extraction of dexmedetomidine by the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit.

Materials and methods

Dexmedetomidine was studied in three closed-loop circuit configurations to isolate the impact of the oxygenator, hemofilter, and tubing on circuit extraction. Each circuit was primed with human blood according to standard practice for Duke Children's Hospital, and flow was set to 1 L/min. Dexmedetomidine was dosed to achieve a therapeutic concentration of ~600 pg/mL. Dexmedetomidine was added to a separate tube of blood to serve as a control and evaluate for natural drug degradation. Serial blood samples were collected over 24 hours and concentrations were quantified with a validated assay. Drug recovery was calculated at each time point.

Results

Dexmedetomidine was highly extracted by the oxygenator evidenced by a mean recovery of 62-67% at 4 hours and 23-34% at 24 hours in circuits with an oxygenator in-line. In contrast, mean recovery with the oxygenator removed was 96% at 4 hours and 93% at 24 hours. Dexmedetomidine was stable over time with a mean recovery in the control samples of 102% at 24 hours.

Conclusion

These results suggest dexmedetomidine is extracted by the oxygenator in the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit which may result in decreased drug exposure in vivo.
