The Effects of Intravenous Dexmedetomidine Premedication on Sensory Block of Bupivacaine Induced Spinal Anesthesia

Abstract

In this double blind, randomized and placebo-controlled study, we aimed to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and midazolam on the sensory or motor blockage, following a single dose administration, before spinal anesthesia. Seventy-five ASA I-II patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) either received intravenous dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg kg-1 (Group D, n = 25) or midazolam 0.05 mg kg-1 (Group M, n = 25) or saline (Group K, n = 25) 5 minutes prior to spinal anesthesia were enrolled.Level of sedation, upper level of sensory blockage and the time of sensory and motor blockage regression were then recorded. The Ramsay sedation scores were detected to be similar in Group D and Group M both of which were higher than those in the Group K (p<0.01 for two groups). Postoperative analgesic consumption were less in the group D compared with groups M and P (p<0.05 for two groups). Premedication with intravenous dexmedetomidine provided equal levels of sedation and more evident analgesia compared with midazolam. In addition, dexmedetomidine prolonged sensory blockage of bupivacaine-induced spinal anesthesia.
