Low Dose Dexmedetomidine as a Postoperative Pain Adjunct

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized controlled trial examines whether the addition of a low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion to our current multimodal pain management plan decreases narcotic consumption and reduces side effects in adolescent patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients will assigned to one of two groups. Either the intervention group where they will receive a dexmedetomidine infusion at 0.2mcg/kg/hr for 48 hours post-operatively or the control group where they will receive a normal saline infusion for 48 hours post-operatively in addition to our hospitals standard pain management protocol. Pain scores will be recorded and patients will fill out a brief questionnaire every 48hours about their pain control and side effects (pruritus, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness). ;
