Cognitive Dysfunction
Conditions
Brief summary
Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2adrenoceptor agonist recently introduced to anesthesia that produces dose dependent sedation, anxiolysis, and analgesia (involving spinal and supraspinal sites) without respiratory depression. From a pharmacokinetic perspective,dexmedetomidine has a half life of nearly 2 hours, duration of action of nearly 4 hour, and thus, a side effect profile that is shorter in duration than clonidine. Esmolol is a cardioselective beta₁ receptor blocker with rapid onset, a very short duration of action (elimination half-life is approximately 9 minutes) , and no significant intrinsic sympathomimetic or membrane stabilising activity at therapeutic dosages
Detailed description
The study will be a randomized double blinded study and will be carried by the Department of Anaesthesia at Beni-Suef University Hospital after obtaining approval from local research and ethical committee. Written informed consent will be obtained from each patient before operation. Aiming to assess of the early cognitive dysfunction after controlled hypotensive anesthesia with either dexmedetomidine or esmolol during middle ear surgeries
Interventions
Patients will receive hypotensive anesthesia via I .V infusion with esmolol ( Esmolol Hydrochloride )
The Patients will receive hypotensive anesthesia via I .V infusion with dexmedetomidine (Percedex )

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| assess the early cognitive dysfunction after controlled hypotensive anesthesia | MMS will performed at 1 hour, 6 and 24 hours postoperatively .The mximum score will be 30 points, a decrease of 2 or more will be considered as cognitive function decline. score less than 23 will be considered as cognitive impairmen | mini mental state examination (MMSE) will be used for evaluation of cognitive function Data will be expressed in mean ± SD and were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The significance of non-parametric data was determined using chi-square test. For all comparisons P \< 0.05 was considered significant., |
