Study aim
-
compare the efficacy of sedative effect of Dexmedetomidin infusion with placebo in patients undergoing open heart surgery in the intensive care unit
-
Design
-
In this double blind clinical trial, 60 patients undergoing open heart surgery under a cardiopulmonary bypass pump, were randomly assigned into two groups of Dexmedetomidine and placebo
-
Settings and conduct
-
In this double blind clinical trial, 60 patients undergoing open heart surgery under a cardiopulmonary bypass pump, who were referred to Baqiyatallah Hospital, were randomly assigned randomly into two groups of Dexmedetomidine (group D) and placebo (group P). The medication is prepared by a collaborator, and the investigator and the patient will not be aware of the type of injectable drug.

Intervention groups
-
In the dexmedmotidine group after completing the operation, doses of dexmedetomidine 1μg/ kg infused over 10 minutes and transferred to the ICU and placed under mechanical ventilation. In ICU, low dose infused doses of 0.2 μg / kg will increase, and the dose will increase to 0.7 μg / kg.
In placebo group, normal saline is infused within 10 minutes and transferred to ICU and placed under mechanical ventilation. In ICU, placebo infusion continues. In the two groups, the purpose of sedation is until the patient is mechanically ventilated by Richmond agitation sedation scale ( RASS) -2_ + 1 and after extubation of RASS 0.

Main outcome variables
-
Reduced Delirium, duration of stay in ICU, duration of mechanical ventilation, Dose of midazolam and morphine, incidence of arrhythmia and Increased satisfaction of nurses in the intensive care unit
