“…3,4 This response shows broad, local, and systemic effects on tissue damage. 5,6 This mechanism works simultaneously to maintain body homeostasis, so if it is not managed properly, it will disrupt the smooth operation and potentially cause complications due to interactions with the initial values of previous medical conditions. [7][8][9] Surgical wounds can trigger a local response with the manifestation of the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which stimulate macrophages/ monocytes to produce interleukin (IL-6), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), namely pro-inflammatory cytokines; furthermore, these cytokines together with DAMPs activate and recruit neutrophils and macrophages/monocytes to areas of inflammation.…”

Background: Increased levels of cortisol and catecholamines are the reaction to tissue damage due to surgical trauma. Dexmedetomidine inhibits the synthesis of these two hormones.Objective: This study aimed to prove that dexmedetomidine reduces the endocrine response to surgical stress.Method: 40 patients who underwent Total Knee or Hip Replacement surgery with regional anesthesia were involved in the Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial Pre-Test – Post-Test Design, which was divided into two research groups: the therapy group and the control group. Changes in the body's response to stress during surgery were compared by assessing blood cortisol levels, heart rates (HRs), and mean arterial pressures (MAPs). The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to evaluate the level of depression. The numeric rating scale is used to evaluate perioperative pain, while the Ramsay scale is used to measure the level of sedation. Data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS).Results: The cortisol levels of the therapy group compared to the control group (p = 0.016) decreased significantly immediately after surgery. Hemodynamic changes in the study, the heart rate (p=0.001), and mean arterial pressure (p=0.000) were significantly lower than the control group.Conclusion: Administration of dexmedetomidine during the surgical period reduces stress hormone responses. These results indicate that dexmedetomidine administration is good to apply, especially in TKR/THR.
