Comparison of sedation between dexmedetomidine and propofol during transesophageal echocardiography: A randomized controlled trial.

Conclusions: Time from the beginning of sedation with Dex was longer than that with propofol. However, Dex was able to provide satisfactory sedation levels, hemodynamic stability, short recovery time, and acceptable patient and practitioner satisfaction during TEE in our cardiac patients.
