Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Our primary endpoints will be to investigate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine infusion on hemodynamic response to critical incidences such as laryngoscopy, endotracheal intubation, surgical incision, and extubation in patients undergoing open abdominal surgery. A change in hemodynamic parameters (MAP, SBP, and HR) from baseline will be compared to the subsequent repeated measurements.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Our secondary endpoints are to observe the effects on extubation time, post-operative sedation levels in the PACU, postoperative nausea and vomiting, postoperative pain score and analgesic requirements, time to first analgesic request, and occurrence of adverse effects. Postoperative analgesia therapy will be provided when patients complain of pain (request medication) or a numeric rating scale=of 4 is recorded. The analgesic drugs administered will be as per the hospital protocol.
