Evaluation of Analgesic Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant to Local Anaesthesia in Maxillofacial Soft Tissue Injuries: A Prospective Randomised Clinical Trial.

Aims And Objectives: Dexmedetomidine is a relatively new, potent, and highly selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for perioperative sympatholytic, analgesia, and sedation. We conducted this study to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to local anaesthesia for maxillofacial soft tissue injuries as day care in the emergency department on patient hemodynamics and analgesic efficacy.

Materials And Methods: Eighty patients gave informed consent to participate in the study.
