A Study of Hemodynamics as a Result of Combining Propofol with Dexmedetomidine During Induction of Anaesthesia

Dr Panchakshari Gouda D Patil

Abstract: Dexmedetomidine a potent, highly selective 2 adrenoreceptor agonist possess desirable properties like sedation, analgesia, sympatholysis and reduces the anaesthetic requirement. Bradycardia and hypotension are the most common side effects of dexmedetomidine. Propofol, currently the most popular induction agent due to its beneficial effects such as suppression of airway reflexes, fast recovery etc has the same side effects during induction of anaesthesia. Hence titration of the above mentioned drugs can minimize the adverse and retain the desired effects of their pairing.
