Clinical Trial Summary

Most of the patients after cardiac surgery need sedation in the iCU. Sedation strategy could impact the incidence of vasopressor use.

Description:

Sedating a patient is a complex process, especially after heart surgery. Sedation has a negative hemodynamic effect. This leads to a decrease in blood pressure and increases the frequency and dose of vasopressors used. The choice of drug for sedation may have an impact on reducing the frequency of use of vasopressor therapy. The goal of the research is compare three strategies: propofol ( sedative agent), dexmedetomidine ( selective α2-adrenergic receptor (α2-AR) agonist that is associated with sedative effect) and their combination for sedation after cardiac surgery.
