Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Effective Sensory Blockade (≥200 Minutes)Until the end of the surgeryEffectiveness is defined as a sensory blockade duration of at least 200 minutes from administration of spinal anesthesia with adjuvant dexmedetomidine to regression of sensory level to the T12 dermatome. Participants with blockade duration \<200 minutes will be considered not effective.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hypotension IncidenceAt the start of surgery until the end of surgeryWhether the patient experienced drop in blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure) \> 20% from base value.
Bradycardia IncidenceUntil the end of surgeryWhether patient experienced drop in heart rate to \<50 beat per minute.
Nausea IncidenceUntil the end of surgeryWhether patient experienced persistent nausea that cause vomiting.
