Perioperative uses of dexmedetomidine.

چکیده
Dexmedetomidine is a new alpha2-agonist that received FDA approval in 1999 for use as a short-term (less than 24 h) sedativeanalgesic in the intensive care unit. The use of alpha2-agonists as anesthetics is not new since many alpha2-agonists are used in veterinary medecine to induce anesthesia. Clonidine, the prototype of alpha2agonists, has been synthesized in early 1970’s for its use as nasal decongestant and antihypertensive drug. Clonidine is widely used as an adjunct to anesthesia and pain medicine; however, it has been little used as sedative.
