The Effect of Different Doses of Intravenous Dexmedetomidine on the Properties of Subarachnoid Blockade: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by Mohammad K Al Nobani (16561248)

“…</p><p><b>Results:</b> Intravenous dexmedetomidine, with loading dose of 1 mcg/kg, prolonged the sensory blockade duration of spinal anaesthesia by a mean difference of 49.6 min, P<0.001, and motor blockade duration by a mean difference of 44.7 min, P<0.001, while a loading dose of 0.5 mcg/kg prolonged the sensory blockade by a mean difference of 43.06 min, P<0.001, and motor blockade duration by a mean difference of 29.09 min, P<0.001. Dexmedetomidine-related side effects were higher in patients receiving larger doses; the incidence of bradycardia was higher (OR=3.53, P<0.001) and incidence of hypotension showed a 1.29 fold increase when compared to the control group (P=0.065).…”
