Brief Summary

The alpha2 agonist dexmedetomidine is a new sedative agent combined with the analgesic qualities and lack of respiratory depression. Patients sedated with dexmedetomidine could be easily roused, these advances shows dexmedetomidine may be a effective and safe sedative agent. But some studies showed some adversely effects of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics (such as bradycardia, hypotension), the investigators want to further research the effects of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics, such as Cardiac Output (CO), Systemic Venous Resistance Index(SVRI), and so on. Propofol is widely used sedative agent in ICU, it also has adversely effects like bradycardia and hypotension, so the investigators want to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine with propofol on haemodynamics after major abdominal surgery. Expect to further research the mechanism of haemodynamics of dexmedetomidine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cardiac output

    the study will start when the patient can be roused after major abdominal surgery and will continue for 6 to 24hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Stroke Volume

    the study will start when the patient can be roused after major abdominal surgery and will continue for 6 to 24hours

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Systemic Venous Resistance Index

    the study will start when the patient can be roused after major abdominal surgery and will continue for 6 to 24hours

Study Arms (2)

dexmedetomidine,hemodynamics,injection

Group 1:when the patient can be roused after major abdominal surgery ,we will inject dexmedetomidine at 1μg/kg in 10 minutes as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.3μg/kg/h for 6 to 24hours.then adjust the infusion dose to maintain the ramsay scale at 3-4 scores.

Drug: dexmedetomidine

propofol,hemodynamics,injection

Group 2 :when the patient can be roused after major abdominal surgery ,we will inject propofol at 0.5mg/kg as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.5mg/kg.h for 6 to 24hours.then adjust the infusion dose to maintain the ramsay scale at 3-4 scores

Drug: propofol

Interventions

dexmedetomidine: IV (in the vein)at 1μg/kg in 10 minutes as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.3μg/kg/h.then adjust the infusion dose to maintain the ramsay scale at 3-4 scores.

dexmedetomidine,hemodynamics,injection

propofol: IV (in the vein)at 0.5mg/kg as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.5mg/kg/h.then adjust the infusion dose to maintain the ramsay scale at 3-4 scores.
