Conditions

Major Abdominal Surgery

Brief summary

Anesthetic management may affect both immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive mechanisms directly by modulating immune cell function or indirectly by attenuating the stress response, Thus, the choice of anesthetic technique may affect clinical outcomes by perturbing the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses,anesthetics favoring this delicate balance are thus desirable as their use may reduce postoperative complications and mortality

Interventions

DRUGDexmedetomidine

patients will receive a loading dose of IV Dexmedetomidine1μg/kg slowly just before induction of anesthesia, then Dexmedetomidine infusion started at a rate of 0.5μg/kg/h.

DRUG0.9% sodium chloride

patients will receive an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride (both the loading, and the infusion
