Dexmedetomidine an Effective Drug in Reducing Anesthetic Requirements in External Dacrocystorhinostomy (DCR) Patients

Assessing the intra and postoperative hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing external dacrocystorhinostomy under general anesthesia using Dexmedetomidine as a preoperative sedation compared to traditional technique with intraoperative analgesia and assessing decreased anesthetic requirements intra and postoperative

About this study

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha 2 adrenoceptor agonist, having characteristics of natural sleep like sedation, can reduce pain intensity and opioid consumption without influencing the time of recovery from general anesthesia

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

patients of both sexes 16 years to 75 years of age ASA (American society of Anesthesiologists) I-III

Exclusion criteria

  • Pediatric age group
  • ASA more than III

Treatment and study plan

Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride

Drug

drug will be given before induction and anesthetic doses and hemodynamics will be assessed pre- intra and postoperative

Primary outcomes

  1. Maintained hemodynamic values while reducing the anesthetic requirements

    Time frame: from 20 minutes after administering the drug till 2 hours after full recovery

    Measuring the heart rate and the blod pressure every 5 minutes intraoperative and for half an hour postoperative to assess hemodynamic stability

Secondary outcomes

  1. Delerium

    Time frame: from 20 minutes after administering the drug till 2 hours after full recovery

    Reducing postoperative delirium in elderly patients
