  • Dexmedetomidine)
    Frequently asked questions regarding alpha-2 agonist DEXDOMITOR® (dexmedetomidine) Q: How should I monitor a patient that has received DEXDOMITOR for sedation or as a premedication? A: The monitoring of vital signs is critical for any patient under sedation or anesthesia. It is important to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, palpable pulse quality, and respiratory rate and volume. Because a2 agonists cause peripheral vasoconstriction, the use of pulse oximetry may not adequately reflect the true status of the patient. Q: What can I expect to see in a patient under DEXDOMITOR sedation? A: The patient may have pale pink or grayish mucous membranes because of peripheral vasoconstriction. The sedation induced by DEXDOMITOR causes a decrease in respiratory rate and a lower body temperature. Q: What is considered a low heart rate? A: Because of the wide range of dog sizes and corresponding heart rates, normal heart rates should be based on the dog’s body size. A reduction in heart rate following a2 agonist sedation should be expected. Patient status should be evaluated by the simultaneous measurement of many parameters, including pulse quality, respiratory rate and quality, blood pressure, and heart rate. Q: What is the effect on the respiratory rate? A: DEXDOMITOR does not have a direct effect on respiration. Although the respiratory rate may decrease as a result of sedation, ventilatory volume generally increases, and overall ventilation (gas exchange) remains stable. Q: I am concerned about hypothermia. A: Hypothermia can occur in a patient following administration of any anesthetic or sedative drug. It is important that body temperature be maintained in all patients undergoing anesthesia or sedation, including those that receive an a2 agonist.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Za moje najdraze roditelje ABSTRACT Molecular mechanisms underlying estrogen-induced micronucleus formation in breast cancer cells Aneuploidy, or numerical changes of chromosomes, has been documented in almost all solid tumours and the frequency of micronucleus formation is commonly taken as a biomarker of aneuploidy. An increasing number of observations suggest that exposure to physiologically relevant concentrations of steroidal estrogens gives rise to chromosomal impairments in estrogen receptor competent cells.

Patients are best served by multi-specialty, multidisciplinary teams to assess and create tailored, individualized pain treatment and rehabilitation plans. Due to the complex nature of pain, generalizing pharmacologic treatment recommendations in children with recurrent or chronic pains is challenging. This is particularly true of complicated patients with co-existing painful and psychiatric conditions. There is an unfortunate dearth of evidence to support many pharmacologic therapies to treat children with chronic pain and headache. This narrative review hopes to supplement the available treatment options for this complex population by reviewing the pediatric and adult literature for analgesic properties of medications that also have psychiatric indication. The medications reviewed belong to medication classes typically described as antidepressants, alpha 2 delta ligands, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, anti-sympathetic agents, and stimulants.

Titrate by 0.1 microgram/kg/hour Q 30 minutes PRN to achieve a Modified Ramsey Sedation Score of 2-3. Maximum dose 1.5 microgram/kg/hour If SBP < 90 mmHg or MAP < 60 mmHg or HR < 60 beats/min: Decrease infusion rate by ½ and notify MD If SBP < 80 mmHg or

As dexmedetomidine mediates central nervous system sympathetic activity and pain modulation, its intraoperative use could be beneficial in craniofacial surgery. We hypothesized that intraoperative administration of dexmedetomidine in children undergoing craniofacial reconstructive surgery would result in reduced opioid requirements, pain, sedation scores, and opioid-induced side effects compared to patients who did not receive dexmedetomidine. All patients who underwent craniofacial reconstructive surgery at our institution from July 2013 to June 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. The primary outcome measure was mean postoperative morphine equivalent requirements. Secondary outcome measures included incidence of opioid-related side effects, pain scores, and hospital length of stay.
