Preop Dexmedetomidine Attenuates Haemodynamic Responses to Hydrodissection

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2012
Percutaneous tunnelling (hydrodissection) in the neck and anterior chest in patients undergoing robotic thyroidectomy leads to significant haemodynamic responses such as increases in blood pressure and heart rate. The investigators evaluated whether a single preoperative dexmedetomidine injection attenuated the haemodynamic responses to hydrodissection by reducing the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of remifentanil needed to maintain haemodynamic stability during hydrodissection.
