Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (5), 2023
Abstract Background: Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for its sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Non-Operating Room Anesthesia (NORA) is a modality of anesthesia that can be done under general anesthesia or procedural sedation or/and analgesia. In this parti...

Dexmedetomidine versus clonidine as an adjuvant to local anaesthetic in brachial plexus blocks: a metaanalysis of randomised controlled trials

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (5), 2023
Abstract Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and Clonidine as an adjuvant to local anesthetics in BPBs. Methods: Two investigators independently searched databases to identify all RCTs comparing the efficacy and/or safety of dexmedetomidine and Clon...

Association of S(+) ketamine, dexmedetomidine and butorphanol for chemical restraint in scarlet macaws (Ara macao)

The present study aimed at assessing the effects of combining 20 mg/kg S(+) ketamine with 25 μg/kg dexmedetomidine and 0.4 mg/kg butorphanol on the physiological parameters and anesthetic recovery time and score of eight captive scarlet macaw (Ara macao) specimens. These specimens were captured at the M...

Dexmedetomidine for transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Does it protect against acute kidney injury?

Rev. chil. anest; 52 (3), 2023
INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and it presents a higher risk of myocardial infarction, severe bleeding, transfusión, dialysis, and mortality. Dexmedetomidine has a protective effect on AKI after adult cardiac surge...

Comparison of the effect of adding dexamethasone magnesium sulphate dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided adductor canal block for post-operative analgesia following anterior cruciate ligament repair

Rev. chil. anest; 52 (1), 2023
BACKGROUND: Arthroscopic knee surgery refers to different surgical interventions in the knee joint and many studies investigated postoperative pain control, Adductor canal block (ACB) as a new alternative technique to femoral nerve block (FNB) provides post-operative pain control with a multimodal analge...

The efficacy of adding dexmedetomidine perineurally in fascia iliaca compartment block versus intravenously in hip arthroscopy: A randomized controlled trial

Rev. chil. anest; 52 (1), 2023
BACKGROUND: Stable hemodynamics in hip arthroscopy is one of the most important tasks. Recently, dexmedetomidine has been considered a safe analgesic and sedative adjuvant in different surgeries. Ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is a technique used to produce postoperative analges...

Changes in gap junction proteins Connexin30. 2 and Connexin40 expression in the sinoatrial node of rats with dexmedetomidine-induced sinus bradycardia

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 72 (6), 2022
Abstract Background Dexmedetomidine (Dex) is widely used, and its most common side effect is bradycardia. The complete mechanism through which Dex induces bradycardia has not been elucidated. This research investigates the expression of gap junction proteins Connexin30.2 (Cx30.2) and Connexin40 (Cx40) w...

Neuraxial block anesthetic technique in a patient with SCN8A encephalopathy: case report

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 72 (6), 2022
Abstract Mutations in SCN8A gene lead to changes in sodium channels in the brain, which are correlated with severe epileptic syndrome. Due to the rarity, there are few studies that support anesthesia in that population. The present study aims to report alternatives to inhalation anesthesia at epileptic e...
