Dexmedetomidine versus magnesium in thoracoscopy. |
Official scientific title |
Dexmedetomidine versus Magnesium Sulphate as a Co-analgesic in Video-assisted Thoracoscopy |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Video-assisted thocic surgery continues to gain acceptance for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures involving the lung or adjacent organs.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), which is known to be less invasive than conventional thoracotomies, causes little pain and better preservation of pulmonary function. While (VATS) procedures are still associated with a significant amount of postoperative pain
Opioids are the principle analgesic, but it can have several well-known dose related side effects
Dexmedetomidine is a potent and highly selective ¿2 adrenoreceptor agonist with sympatholytic, sedative, amnesic, and analgesic properties
Magnesium is a non-competitive (NMDA) receptor antagonist with antinociceptive effects.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus magnesium sulphate in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries, regarding the reduction of opioid consumption. |
