ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence and safety of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on intraoperative wake-up quality of patients underwent neurosurgical surgery. METHODS:126 patients with general anesthesia in neurosurgery were enrolled and randomized equally into observation group and control group,with 63 cases in each group. Control group was given target con-trolled infusion of propofol with plasma target concentration of 3-5 μg/ml and remifentanil with target effect site concentration of 2-6 ng/ml for anesthesia induction and maintenance,and then plasma target concentration of remifentanil decreased to 0.5 ng/ml 30 min before wake-up. Observation group received target controlled infusion of propofol with plasma target concentration of 3-5 μg/ml and remifentanil with target effect site concentration of 2-6 ng/ml for anesthesia induction and maintenance,and then given DEX 0.3 μg/kg intravenously 30 min before wake-up and maintained at 0.1 μg/(kg·h). MAP,HR,SBP,SaO2,serum levels of IgA,IgM,IgG,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α were observed in 2 groups 2 h before operation(T1)and after extubation(T2)as well as the occurrence of ADR during wake-up. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in HR,MAP,SBP,SaO2,IgA,IgM, IgG,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α levels at T1 and SaO2 levels at T2 between 2 groups(P>0.05). HR,MAP,SBP,IL-6 and TNF-α lev-els of observation group decreased significantly at T2 and lower than those of control group;IgA,IgM and IgG increased signifi-cantly and higher than those of control group,with statistical significance (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:DEX influence intraoperative wake-up quality of patients underwent neurosurgical surgery slightly,and can reduce inflammatory reaction with less ADR.
