To compare the effect of two different doses of dexmedetomidine on the attenuation of airway and pressor response during tracheostomy tube change in traumatic brain injury patients

Abstract: Background:Tracheostomy tube (TT) change is the common procedure in trauma Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and almost always associated with cough reflex, increase in blood pressure, and heart rate. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist well studied for the prevention of pressor response during laryngoscopy and extubation, but literature on prevention of pressor response during TT change is lacking.Aims:The aim of this study is to compare two doses (0.5 and 1.0 μg/kg) of DEX for prevent… Show more

“…In a meta-analysis of assessment of dexmedetomidine as an anesthetic agent by Piao and Wu,[ 21 ] the occurrence of adverse effects such as hypotension and bradycardia with dexmedetomidine was found to be significantly higher as compared to controls. Khan et al .,[ 22 ] in their comparative study of 1.0 μg/kg and 0.5 μg/kg doses of dexmedetomidine, reported a higher incidence of hypotension and bradycardia with the use of higher dose of the drug. In our study, the use of lower dose was associated with a lesser incidence of both these side effects.…”
