Background: For surgical procedures of the upper limbs, ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SCBPB) represents a safe substitute for general anesthesia. The present study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of incorporating 1μg/kg dexmedetomidine (DEX) into 20 ml bupivacaine, as opposed to using 20 ml and 30 ml bupivacaine without additives, in SCBPB.
Methods: This randomized, controlled, double-blind study included 75 patients assigned to elective upper-limb surgery under the mid-humerus level.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a crucial non-invasive diagnostic tool for pediatric diseases, requiring patients to remain still, often with the use of sedatives. Midazolam and dexmedetomidine are commonly used for sedation in children, but their combined effect needs further study. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combining intranasal dexmedetomidine (ID) with oral midazolam (OM) in children undergoing MRI, and assess its clinical feasibility.

Objectives: We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative delirium in elderly orthopedic surgery patients.
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials of dexmedetomidine in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. The data was published on October 25, 2024.

Rationale: Hypothermia, defined as a core body temperature below 35°C, is a common and serious complication in severe trauma patients, often worsened by hemorrhage and medical interventions. Dexmedetomidine, an α2-adrenergic agonist used for sedation in intensive care units, has known thermoregulatory effects; however, its association with hypothermia in trauma patients remains insufficiently explored.
Patient Concerns: A 40-year-old male with severe polytrauma from a motor vehicle accident presented in distress, with hypotension, tachycardia, and a baseline temperature of 35.

Background: Postoperative pain intensity is influenced by various factors, including genetic variations. The SCN10A gene encodes the Nav1.8 sodium channel protein, which is crucial for pain signal transmission in peripheral sensory neurons.
