Brief summary

Dexmedetomidine may alter whole blood coagulation. However, little is known about the dose-response relationships according to the blood concentration of dexmedetomidine. The investigators have therefore performed the present study to measure the effect of dexmedetomidine on the coagulation pathway according to the drug concentration level using a rotational thromboelastometry test.

Interventions

DRUG0 ul of dexmedetomidine

Venous blood is taken from 11 healthy volunteers and divided into four specimen bottles, which were added with different doses (0 ul) using dexmedetomidine

DRUG0.25 ul of dexmedetomidine

Venous blood is taken from 11 healthy volunteers and divided into four specimen bottles, which were added with different doses (0.25 ul) using dexmedetomidine

DRUG0.5 ul of dexmedetomidine

Venous blood is taken from 11 healthy volunteers and divided into four specimen bottles, which were added with different doses (0.5 ul) using dexmedetomidine

DRUG0.75 ul of dexmedetomidine

Venous blood is taken from 11 healthy volunteers and divided into four specimen bottles, which were added with different doses (0.75 ul) using dexmedetomidine
