A Randomized Control Trial of Three Intravenous Dexmedetomidine Doses for Procedural Sedation in Patients Undergoing Minor Gynaecological Surgery.

Abstract

Minor gynaecological procedures are usually done in outpatient settings. Early discharge with minimal haemodynamic compromise is an essential requirement of these procedures. Many sedative drugs are being used for outpatient surgeries. Of the sedative agents available, dexmedetomidine, which has sedative and analgesic sparing effects, has the best safety profile in the cardiorespiratory system. Therefore, we evaluated the optimum dexmedetomidine dose for providing better procedural sedation.
