Conditions

Cardiac Electrophysiology, Cardiac Function, Dexmedetomidine, General Anesthesia

Brief summary

Perioperative stress may increase the incidence of adverse events in the cardiovascular system and lead to poor prognosis. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2 adrenergic receptor agonist, which can inhibit stress response and reduce hemodynamic fluctuations. In different usage plans, dexmedetomidine can have different effects on hemodynamics, myocardial electrical activity, cardiac function. The main purpose was to observe its effects on myocardial electrophysiology and cardiac function during perioperative period. The secondary purpose was to explore the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine that has the least adverse effects on perioperative electrocardia action and cardiac function

Interventions

DRUGDexmedetomidine

The loading dose with 0.5 μg/kg, maintenance dose with 0.5 μg/kg of Dexmedetomidine is used to observe the effect on the electrophysiology of the patients' hearts

DRUGNormal saline

Normal saline is used to observe the effect on the electrophysiology of the patients' hearts
