Dexmedetomidine versus nimodipine for controlled hypotension during spine surgery

use of dexmedetomidine and esmolol for hypotension in lumbar spine surgery

conclusions both dexmedetomidine and esmolol can be used as agents to control hypotension in patients undergoing lumbar spine decompression and fixation surgery; the dexmedetomidine group, however, was associated with better intraoperative hemodynamic stability and reduced intraoperative analgesic and volatile anaesthetic requirement. results the study results showed that dexmedetomidine had lo...

Comparison of the Effects of Dexmedetomidine and Labetalol on Controlled Hypotension in Maxillofacial Surgery

Background & objectives: The use of controlled hypotension is important to reduce bleeding in some surgeries. This study aimed to determine the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) and labetalol for induced hypotension in maxillofacial fractures surgery. Methods: In this triple-blind randomized controlled clinical trial study, the patients with maxillofacial fractures were randomly divided into two...

[Comparison between magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine in controlled hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery].

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is crucial to decrease bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Our primary goal was to investigate the effects of magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine used for controlled hypotension on the visibility of the surgical site. METHODS 60 patients aged between 18 and 65 years were enrolled. In the magnesium sulfate group (Group M), patients were administe...

Use of Dexmedetomidine and Esmolol for Hypotension in Lumbar Spine Surgery

BACKGROUND The importance of decreasing bleeding in spine surgery is not only important to maintain the patient's hemodynamic balance but also allow a better view of the surgical field. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to compare dexmedetomidine and Esmolol™ as agents to induce hypotension in lumbar spine surgeries. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 50 patients aged 20 to 65 years belonging...
