Randomized single-blinded study comparing sedation effectiveness and hemodynamic stability of remifentanil vs dexmedetomidine infusion for electrophysiology procedures in patients of National Heart Institute cathlab.

Background: While studies comparing the effectiveness of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine are prevalent in other nations, using remifentanil alone is uncommon in Malaysia. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sedation with remifentanil or dexmedetomidine infusion in monitored anesthesia care for electrophysiology procedures.

Methods: This study is a single-center, single-blinded, prospective randomized clinical study.
