Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Rate of propofol infusion per hour

    measured by infusion pump in ml/hr

    during surgery

  • Change in MEP amplitude and latency

    intraoperatively monitoring by neurophysiology in MV

    at baseline and during surgery

  • Depth of anesthesia by bispectral index

    intraoperatively by anesthesiologist BIS within normal range 40-60

    during surgery

  • change in SSEP amplitude and latency

    intraoperatively monitoring by neurophysiology in MV

    at baseline and during surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • to access rapid recovery in both arms

    immediately after surgery

  • to access the event of hypotension in both arms

    baseline ,during surgery and immediately after surgery

  • to access the event of bradycardia in both arms

    baseline, during surgery and immediately after surgery

Study Arms (2)

patient is receiving dexmedetomidine

EXPERIMENTAL

dexmedetomidine infusion at the rate of 0.5 μg kg-1 hr-1, started after the induction of general anesthesia without a loading dose

Drug: Precedex Injectable Product

standard treatment (saline)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

saline injection only after the induction of general anesthesia

Drug: Saline

Interventions

Precedex activates 2-adrenoceptors, and causes the decrease of sympathetic tone, with attenuation of the neuroendocrine and hemodynamic responses to anesthesia and surgery; it reduces anesthetic and opioid requirements; and causes sedation and analgesia. it is used before and/or during surgical

Also known as: dexmedetomidine
patient is receiving dexmedetomidine
SalineDRUG

mixture of sodium chloride (salt) and water in solution with 0.90% w/v of NaCl

Also known as: Salt water
standard treatment (saline)

Intervention Model

Model Details: A prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial will be done on all included cases. They will be divided into two groups after induction of general anathesia using propofolwhich will be started at 100 ug/kg/min) and titrated to maintain the bispectral index at 40-60 and fentanyl will be started at 0.5ug/kg/min) and to be adjusted as needed to control the hemodynamic response to the surgical procedure and maintain the mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 55-65 mmHg. Then will randomly divided using Block Stratified Randomized Software program, after obtaining informed consent from eligible patient or his caregiver into two Arms: Arm A: will receive dexmedetomidine infusion at the rate of 0.5 μg kg-1 hr-1, started after the induction of general anesthesia without a loading dose which is colorless solution. Arm B :will receive placebo (saline injection) only after the induction of general anesthesia
