Effects of dexmedetomidine on inflammatory mediators after tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury: a randomized, double-blinded, controlled study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to general anesthesia attenuated the rise in proinflammatory cytokines, providing protective effects in tourniquet- induced IRI. PMID: 30207136 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
