Propofol-Dexmedetomidine Adjunction in Balanced Anesthesia for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Valve Surgery: Effects on Anesthetic Consumption, perioperative outcomes, and Early Recovery

This prospective, randomized, double-blind study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to propofol-based anesthesia in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac valve surgery. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either dexmedetomidine or placebo in addition to standard propofol-based anesthesia. The primary outcome was total propofol consumption during surgery. Secondary outcomes included intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, anesthetic and recovery characteristics, and postoperative outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. patients belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I or II
2. patients scheduled for minimally invasive cardiac valve surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. patient more than 60 years
2. patients having neurological/psychological disorders,
3. patient having severe systemic disorders (renal/hepatic dysfunction and severe respiratory disorder),
4. patient with history of allergy to the study drugs,
5. patient with left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%,
