Purpose: To determine the effect of dexmedetomidine on the ED and ED of sufentanil in patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after cesarean section.

Patients And Methods: Parturients who underwent elective cesarean section (n = 80) were randomly assigned to either the sufentanil group (S group) or the dexmedetomidine-sufentanil combination group (DS group). Patients in the S group received a combination of sufentanil, 5 mg of tropisetron, and saline, whereas patients in the DS group were administered 1.
