Abstract Background During emergence from anesthesia after partial and total laryngectomy, excessive airway reflex and systemic hypertension may lead to subcutaneous emphysema, hemorrhage or pneumothorax. Methods American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status III and IV male adults undergoing elective laryngectomy were recruited and randomly allocated to receive either dexmedetomidine (group D) or midazolam (group M). The primary outcome was incidence and severity of cough. Pulse oximetry results (SpO2), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were also recorded. The visual analog scale and the Ramsay sedation scale were recorded at the points of wakefulness and departure from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Rescue analgesia consumption, the time of spontaneous breath recovery, duration of the PACU stay, and the incidence of adverse effects were also recorded. Results The prevalence of no coughing was significantly higher in group D than in group M at the points of wakefulness and departure. HR, SBP, and DBP were significantly lower in group D compared with group M, and SpO2 was significantly higher in group D than in group M at the moment of laryngectomy. Pain scores were lower in group D than in group M. The Ramsay score at the point of wakefulness was higher in group D than in group M. There was no difference in time to spontaneous breathing recovery, duration of the PACU stay, and incidence of adverse effects. Conclusions Compared with midazolam, dexmedetomidine is an effective alternative to attenuate coughing and hemodynamic changes with a low incidence of adverse events during emergence from anesthesia after partial and total laryngectomy.

Abstract Background Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation are strong stimuli that cause a reflex increase in blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and serum catecholamine level. These can lead to myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accidents. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine and lidocaine combined with propofol in attenuating the hemodynamic response following laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Methods This study was a randomized controlled study and adhered to the CONSORT guidelines. One-hundred and six patients undergoing elective general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation were divided randomly into two groups. Group D received dexmedetomidine (1 μg kg− 1) before induction. Group LP received lidocaine (1.5 mg kg− 1) before induction with additional propofol (0.5 mg kg− 1) before laryngoscopy. The primary endpoint was hemodynamic including systolic (S) BP, diastolic (D) BP, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and HR measured before and after induction and ≤ 10 min after intubation. Secondary outcome was complications/adverse effects. Results After induction, the mean SBP, DBP, MAP and HR decreased significantly from baseline in both groups except for mean HR in group LP at 1 min. Differences in mean values of SBP, DBP, and MAP were significantly lower in group D after intubation at 4–10 min (P <  0.05). Group LP had a non-inferior effect in blunting BP at all time points except 1 and 2 min after induction, and 2 min after intubation. The mean difference in HR in group D was significantly lower than that in group LP at all time points (P <  0.001). Group D had significantly more episodes of bradycardia (18.87% vs. 0%, P = 0.001) and hypotension (52.83% vs. 15.09%, P < 0.001) than did group LP. Conclusion Lidocaine (1.5 mg kg− 1) with additional propofol (0.5 mg kg− 1) had a non-inferior effect compared with dexmedetomidine (1 μg kg− 1) in attenuating the hemodynamic response following laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, and had fewer adverse effects.

Introduction: Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8) has reclassified earlier prehypertension {Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) 130-139 mm of Hg and/or Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) 80-89 mmHg} as stage 1 HTN. These patients may be at greater risk of perioperative haemodynamic instability, more so in case of laparoscopic surgeries and alpha-2 agonists premedication may be useful in such patients. Aim: To assess perioperative haemodynamic fluctuations in untreated stage 1 hypertension (HTN) patients and the role of Dexmedetomidine (Dexmed) in it. Materials and Methods: This prospective, randomised, double blind study was conducted at Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak, Haryana, India from March 2019 to September 2020. Sixty-five patients with stage 1 HTN not on any anti-hypertensive drugs undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled and randomly divided into group D (dexmedetomidine) and group NS (Normal Saline). Group D received Dexmed 1 μg/kg over 10 minutes before induction, followed by continuous infusion of Dexmed at 0.2 μg/ kg/h and Group NS received similar volume of normal saline. Serial recording of pulse rate, Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and oxygen saturation was done. Postoperative sedation scores, extubation time and time to first rescue analgesia were also assessed. For analysis, quantitative variables were expressed as mean±SD and compared using unpaired and paired t-test. Mann-Whitney test was used for quantitative data that did not follow a normal distribution. Qualitative variables were expressed as frequencies/percentages and compared using Chi-square test. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 60 patients (30 in group NS, mean age 38.40±10.32 years and 30 in group D, mean age 42.5±11.72 years) were analysed in the present study. In NS group, haemodynamic variations were seen at induction, Laryngoscopy and Intubation (L&I), creation and release of Pneumoperitoneum (PNP) and extubation but actual changes were within 10-12% of baseline value, whereas in group D, pulse rate and MAP remained stable and moderately lower than baseline throughout the perioperative period. An increase in extubation time was observed in group D (15.57±3.16 vs.9.15±1.60 min). Group D also had significantly higher sedation scores postextubation. Group NS patients demanded rescue analgesia early (18.33±7.46 min vs.43.53±8.57 min) (p=0.001). Conclusion: It was concluded that the administration of i.v. Dexmed 1 μg/kg over 10 minutes followed by infusion at 0.2 μg/Kg/h results in haemodynamic stability during surgical stress, slightly delayed but smooth extubation, delayed demand of postoperative rescue analgesia and mild sedation of short duration. Dexmed induced effects help in improving the recovery profile of the patient and keeping the patient more comfortable in the postoperative period.

Background: Caudal anesthesia is an effective method of pain management, which can be successfully employed to minimize post-thoracotomy pain in pediatric patients. However, its main disadvantage is the short postoperative analgesic period, which can be prolonged by the concurrent administration of one of many adjuvants. Objectives: This prospective randomized, blinded study aimed to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus morphine as adjuvants to bupivacaine in caudal anesthesia for thoracic surgeries in pediatric patients. Methods: Fifty patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups. To achieve caudal epidural block anesthesia, the patients in group M (n = 25) were administered morphine and bupivacaine, while group D (n = 25) received a mixture of dexmedetomidine and bupivacaine. The primary outcome of this study was the postoperative analgesic duration achieved. The secondary outcomes included morphine administration in the first 24 hours following caudal block anesthesia, the face, legs, activity, cry, consolability (FLACC) scale scores, and adverse effects, including vomiting, itching, bradycardia, hypotension, and respiratory depression. Results: The results showed that patients who had received dexmedetomidine achieved a longer postoperative analgesia as compared to those who had received morphine (P < 0.001). Postoperatively, the heart rate, blood pressure, pain score, and mean consumption of morphine were lower in group D as compared to the group M. There was no significant difference in the adverse effects between the two groups. Conclusions: The use of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine for caudal anesthesia during pediatric thoracic surgeries induced better and prolonged postoperative analgesia as compared to morphine.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic responses to DLT intubation compared to placebo and to assess the adverse effects related to dexmedetomidine. Sixty patients were randomly allocated to receive 0.7 μg/kg dexmedetomidine (n=30) or normal saline (n=30) 10 minutes before general anesthesia. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and rate pressure product (RPP) between groups were recorded. During intubation and 10 minutes afterward (T1-T10), the mean SBP, DBP, MAP, HR, and RPP in the control group were significantly higher than those in the dexmedetomidine group throughout the study period except at T1. The mean differences of SBP, DBP, MAP, HR, and RPP were significantly higher in the control group, with the value of 15.2 mmHg, 10.5 mmHg, 14 mmHg, 10.5 beats per minute, and 2,462.8 mmHg min−1. Four patients in the dexmedetomidine group and 1 patient in the control group developed hypotension, while 2 patients in the dexmedetomidine group had bradycardia. Prophylactic dexmedetomidine can attenuate the hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and DLT intubation with minimal adverse effects. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.govNCT01289769.
