Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, 60 eligible patients are randomly selected. Then the letters A, B and C are written on 20 sheets and each one is placed in an envelope. Each patient is then asked to choose one of the envelopes. Depending on the selected envelope, the patient is assigned to one of three groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In order to achieve the triple-blind study, different doses of Dexmedetomidine and placebo will be prepared daily by the operating room nurse (without the researcher's awareness) and placed in the bag and will be labeled A, B, C, and D. And is given daily to the anesthesiologist (researcher). Therefore, the patient, the Investigator, the person recording the clinical and basic information of the patients as well as the statistical analyst will not be aware of the type of intervention.
