Comparison
Dexmedetomidine infusion before anesthesia… vs Saline placebo before anesthesia induction
Design
RCT, randomized, double blind
Follow-up
5 minutes after endotracheal intubation

Supports dexmedetomidine for intubation hemodynamics in beta-blocked CABG; extends RCT evidence to this population.
Does dexmedetomidine attenuate the hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing CABG on beta blockers?
Dexmedetomidine (1 microg/kg) safely attenuates the hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation in beta-blocked patients undergoing CABG.
