Why the study?
Does intraoperative dexmedetomidine reduce stress responses in patients undergoing major spine surgery?
Does intraoperative dexmedetomidine reduce stress responses in patients undergoing major spine surgery?
Intraoperative dexmedetomidine safely attenuates surgical stress responses during major spine surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports safe attenuation of surgical stress with dexmedetomidine in major spine surgery; extends RCT evidence beyond cardiac settings.
Intraoperative dexmedetomidine administration reduced stress hormone release and maintained the balance of the autonomic nervous system. Dexmedetomidine could attenuate surgical stress response without untoward hemodynamic adverse events.
