Brief summary
testing the efficacy and safety of dexmeditomedine in controlling heart rate in patients with tight mitral stenosis subjected to mitral valve replacement during the prebypass period
Interventions
70 patients scheduled for mitral valve replacement divided equally into two groups were studied in this randomized controlled double blind study ; Group D : received (after induction of anesthesia) dexmeditomedine 1ug/kg bolus dose over 10 minutes followed by an infusion of 0.5 ug/kg/h till the start of cardiopulmonary bypass. Group F: received saline bolus ( after induction of anesthesia ) and infusion of saline till the start of cardiopulmonary bypass instead of dexmeditomedine .Anesthetic management for both groups was the same.
