Objectives: To compare the sedative effects of dexmedetomidine alfentanil versus ketamine-alfentanil in patients undergoing closed reduction of nasal fractures on the basis of intraoperative hemodynamic changes, satisfaction of patients and surgeons, and the adverse effects.
Methods: Sixty patients with ASA class 1 or 2 were randomized to either of two groups, a dexmedetomidine alfentanil group (DA group; n = 30) or a ketamine-alfentanil group (KA group; n = 30). Hemodynamic parameters, oxygenation status, adverse events, the satisfaction of patients and surgeons, and postoperative pain scores by visual analog scale (VAS) were recorded at specific time intervals during the trial.
Results: Systolic blood pressure was significantly lower in the DA group than in the KA group from T1 min to T15 min. The duration of the recovery ward stay was longer in the DA group; however, two groups were similar in terms of total anesthesia time and awakening time. Likewise, two groups were similar in terms of the patient and surgeon's satisfaction, pain scores, and the occurrence of adverse effects.
Conclusions: Both sedation methods were safely performed, and dexmedetomidine-alfentanil is as effective as ketamine-alfentanil in patients undergoing short-term operations such as nasal fracture corrections.

Comparison of the Safety and Efficacy of Remimazolam Besylate versus Dexmedetomidine for Patients Undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: Remimazolam besylate is a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine that is rapidly hydrolyzed to zolpidem propionic acid by tissue lipases. We designed this study to compare the safety and efficacy of remimazolam besylate alfentanil versus dexmedetomidine-alfentanil for fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB).
Methods: One hundred and twenty patients undergoing FB into this prospective randomized controlled trial were divided into two groups.
Pharmacological prevention of postictal agitation after electroconvulsive therapy-A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Postictal agitation (PIA) after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a serious clinical problem estimated to occur in 7-36% of patients and recur in 19-54% of patients. PIA has the potential to cause dangerous situations for the patient and staff members aside from the financial impact. To date, it is unclear which pharmacological interventions should be used in the management of PIA.

Sevoflurane, commonly administered to children as anesthesia, often leads to emergence delirium (ED). Currently, a consensus is lacking among clinicians regarding pharmacological interventions to improve recovery. To determine an effective approach, we compared the effects of several drugs in lowering the incidence of ED after sevoflurane anesthesia in children.

Objectives: Dexmedetomidine is an alpha-2 agonist with anti-anxiety, sedative, and analgesic effects and causes a lesser degree of respiratory depression. We hypothesized that the use of dexmedetomidine in non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) may reduce opioid-related complications such as postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), dyspnea, constipation, dizziness, skin itching, and cause minimal respiratory depression, and stable hemodynamic status.
Methods: Patients who underwent non-intubated VATS lung wedge resection with propofol combined with dexmedetomidine (group D) or alfentanil (group O) between December 2016 and May 2022 were enrolled in this retrospective propensity score matching cohort study.

Emergence agitation (EA) is a common problem often observed in children after sevoflurane anesthesia, which can be prevented by dexmedetomidine and alfentanil. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine alone and with different doses of alfentanil in preventing EA in children under sevoflurane anesthesia. In a double-blind trial, 80 children (ASA I or II, 3-7 years old) undergoing tonsillectomy alone and adenotonsillectomy with sevoflurane anesthesia were randomly assigned into four groups: the control group, dexmedetomidine (DEX) group, dexmedetomidine plus 10 μg/kg alfentanil group (DEX + Alf1), and dexmedetomidine plus 20 μg/kg alfentanil group (DEX + ALf2).
