The effect of preoperative dexmedetomidine nebulization on the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation: a randomized control trial.

Conclusions: Nebulized dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg attenuated the increase in heart rate but not systolic blood pressures following laryngoscopy; and reduced the intraoperative anesthetic and analgesic consumption. There was no effect on early PONV, sore-throat or increase in incidence of adverse effects. Nebulized dexmedetomidine may represent a favorable alternative to the intravenous route in short duration surgeries. PMID: 32434291 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
