NCT02818621

Brief Summary

Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha2-adrenergic agonist is known to reduce propofol and opioid requirements due to its sedative and analgesic properties. However, until now, there has been studies based on indirect measures such as hemodynamics. Entropy shows to quantify the level of consciousness by EEG and Surgical pleth index(SPI) allows to predict the effect of pain stimuli and analgesic therapy by the index of the nociception-anti-nociception balance. The investigators analyzed quantitatively the requirements of propofol and remifentanil under continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine when using entropy and SPI.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The difference of the requirements of propofol and remifentanil between each groups

    We analyzed quantitatively the requirements of propofol and remifentanil under continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine or placebo(normal saline) when using entropy and SPI.

    the day of surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The difference of quality of recovery between each groups

    24 hours after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Group Dex

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Dex group received 1mcg/kg loading dose followed by 0.5mcg/kg/hr infusion of dexmedetomidine which was administered at induction of anesthesia through skin closure. Interventions: ◦Drug: Dexmedetomidine

Drug: Group Dex (dexmedetomidine)

Group Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The Placebo group received equal amount of normal saline. Interventions: ◦Drug: Normal saline

Drug: Group Dex (dexmedetomidine)

Interventions

1mcg/kg loading dose followed by 0.5mcg/kg/hr infusion of dexmedetomidine which was administered at induction of anesthesia through skin closure

Also known as: Precedex
