Objective: This study aimed to investigate the sedative effect of dexmedetomidine combined with midazolam nasal drops before a pediatric craniocerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: Eighty children who needed an MRI examination were enrolled in the present study and randomly divided into 2 groups: the observation group (dexmedetomidine combined with midazolam nasal drops) and the control group. After the children were given the medication, their heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and respiratory rate were continuously monitored and the adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, cough, restlessness, heart rate slowdown, and respiratory depression were observed.
Results: The difference in the onset time between the 2 groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but the duration was significantly longer in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.01) and the examination success rate were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The protocol of 3 μg/kg of a dexmedetomidine injection combined with 0.3 mg/kg of midazolam nasal drops is safe, easy to operate, and has a high success rate, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Anesthetic and sedative drugs are small compounds known to bind to hundreds of proteins. One intriguing binding partner of propofol is the kinesin motor domain, kif5A, a neuronal mitochondrial transport protein. Here, we used zebrafish WT and kif5Aa KO larval behavioral assays to assess anesthetic sensitivity and combined that with zebrafish primary neuronal cell culture to probe for alteration in mitochondrial motility.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of co-administration of midazolam and dexmedetomidine on hemodynamics and stress response in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, 154 elderly NSCLC patients scheduled for lobectomy in our oncology department from January 2019 to December 2021 were recruited. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either dexmedetomidine (control group) or dexmedetomidine plus midazolam (study group) for anesthesia during lobectomy the random number table method, with 77 patients in each group.
Local infiltration anesthesia with high dose ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine in major knee surgery is safe.

Background: The role of local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) in knee surgery is significant. LIA can be more potent than a nerve block, but without the downsides. A wide range of agents are used for LIA, including some off-label medications such as dexmedetomidine and ropivacaine.

Introduction: Sedation is often required during flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) to ensure patient comfort and the success of the procedure. The choice of sedative agents may differ between anesthesiologists and pulmonologists. This pilot study aimed to investigate the current pre-procedure preparation, monitoring, premedication and sedation practices for FFB in Türkiye, focusing on the preferences and practices of pulmonologists.
