Study aim
-
Determining and comparing the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine and remifentanil on cardiovascular response to extubation in awake patients undergoing surgery
-
Design
-
A randomized, double-blinding clinical trial, with parallel groups, Phase 3 on 90 patients
-
Settings and conduct
-
In this randomized double-blind clinical trial study, 90 surgical candidates patients in Al-Zahra Hospital of Isfahan will be included in the study and will be randomly divided into three groups. After general anesthesia, remifentanil, dexmedetomidine and normal saline infusion will be prescribed in three groups, respectively. The intervention will be performed in such a way that the patient, the researcher will have no knowledge of the type of intervention.
