Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adjuvant intravenous dexmedetomidine infusion starting after induction of general anesthesia can provide superior pain management (decrease pain scores) and decrease opioid administration, without increasing nausea/vomiting, compared to patients receiving only opioid and acetaminophen for the patients which going through coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)?

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Visual analog pain (VAS) scores at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours post-surgery
Pain scores are measured by asking the patients to rank their pain from 1 to 10
measured at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours post-surgery
Total opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery (Oral morphine equivalents)
the totalOral morphine equivalent dose of Opioids received by the patient 24 hour after the surgery is calculated
24 Hours post surgery
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Incidence of post-operation nausea and vomiting (PONV) (treatment with anti-emetic) in the first 24 hours
24 Hours Post Surgery
Incidence of pruritus (Percent of patients)
24 hours Post Surgery
Total Acetaminophen intake
24 Hours post surgery
Total NSAID intake
24 hours Post Surgery
Incidence of atrial fibrillation
during Hospital Stay
- +6 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients will be between 18 years old and 100 years old. Both men and women will be eligible for this study. We will aim to have approximately 50% men and 50% women. People of all races and ethnic origins are eligible.
- Patients should be undergoing CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting ) under general anesthesia with CPB (Cardiopulmonary bypass).
You may not qualify if:
- Patients will be excluded who are receiving valve replacement with CABG, Class I emergent CABG, receiving regional anesthesia, clinically significant preoperative neurologic, cardiac, pulmonary, renal, or hepatic disease that cannot tolerate dexmedetomidine infusion, or reported allergy to dexmedetomidine. People taking chronic opioid will also be excluded from the study.
