Abstract
Short surgical procedures under total intravenous anesthetic have been found to respond favorably to propofol. The “star” drug in the anesthetic therapy toolbox is dex‐medetomidine a sedative and analgesic selective alpha‐2 agonist. To determine if dexmedetomidine can be used as the only anesthetic drug to maintain depth of anesthesia. Dexmedetomidine was infused continuously at a rate of 0.2‐0.6 mg kgG1 hrs after this solution was injected at a rate of 10 mL min for a total dose of 1 g kgG1. The mean ages in both groups were similar, with group 1 (Dexmedetomidine) recording a mean age of 36.07 years and group 2 (Propofol) recording a mean age of 33.8 years. Dexmedetomidine was related with identical hemodynamic effects, maintaining appropriate respiratory function and achieving an Aldrete recovery score of 10 at similar sedation levels of ramsay sedation score with propofol. Dexmedetomidine, surgical procedures, propofol.
