The investigators aimed to investigate the lung protective effect of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest, which is associated with systemic inflammatory response, and oxidative stress.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients will be divided into 2 groups; dexmedetomidine group and control group. Dexmedetomidine group will receive dexmedetomidine during and after thoracic artery surgery. And control group will receive the same amount of normal saline instead.
