Article Synopsis
  • Dexmedetomidine is being increasingly used in surgeries involving general anesthesia, but its impact on patient outcomes needs further evaluation.
  • A systematic review of 44 randomized controlled trials with nearly 5904 participants indicated that intraoperative dexmedetomidine significantly improved recovery quality after surgery.
  • The study found a 99% likelihood of any benefit from its use and an 88% chance of achieving a meaningful improvement in recovery, along with a reduction in chronic pain incidence.

Background: Postoperative patient-centred outcome measures are essential to capture the patient's experience after surgery. Although a large number of pharmacologic opioid minimisation strategies (i.e.

Introduction: Dexmedetomidine is a promising pharmaceutical strategy to minimise opioid use during surgery. Despite its growing use, it is uncertain whether dexmedetomidine can improve patient-centred outcomes such as quality of recovery and pain.

Methods And Analysis: We will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis following the recommendations of the .

The first efficient access to -difluoromethyl amides, carbamates, thiocarbamates, ureas, formamides, and their derivatives is reported herein. The synthetic strategy relies on the initial synthesis and straightforward derivatization of -CFH carbamoyl fluorides, which were prepared through a desulfurization-fluorination of thioformamides (─NH─C(H)═S) coupled with carbonylation. The newly made -CFH carbonyl compounds proved to be highly robust and compatible with numerous chemical transformations and downstream derivatizations, underscoring the potential of this novel motif as a building block in complex functional molecules.
