Dexmedetomidine Infusion Effect on Hemodynamic Variables During Craniotomy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

There is no clear consensus among neuroanesthesiologists regarding which anesthetic regimen is optimal for craniotomy. Propofol and short-acting opioids (such as remifentanil, fentanyl, or sufentanil) are commonly used. However, use of opioids is associated with increased risk of respiratory depression and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenoreceptor agonist that has been considered as a useful and safe adjunct to anesthesia for various surgical procedures

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators designed this randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the effectiveness of administration of Dexmedetomidine infusion at a dose of 0.5 µg/kg/h without loading dose during elective supratentorial craniotomy under GA. The investigators will compare intraoperative hemodynamics in both groups, intraoperative analgesic consumption, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative sedation scores, intraoperative need for rescue hypotensive agents, and finally the satisfaction of surgeons. To our knowledge, the present study is the first to evaluate the effect of Dexmedetomidine infusion without loading dose in elective supratentorial craniotomy ;
