Dexmedetomidine sedation for awake carotid endarterectomy

Abstract

43 patients undergoing awake carotid endarterectomy were assigned to receive for intraoperative sedation either dexmedetomidine or midazolam. Sedation in dexmedetomidine group was more stable than in control group. This type of sedation provided optimal level of consciousness for intraoperative neurological assessment. Hemodynamic parameters in dexmedetomidine group also were more stable. Dexmedetomidine infusion 0,7-1,4 μg/kg/h can provide safe and effective sedation for awakecarotidendarterectomy.
