Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of dexmedetomidine for sedation in ICU. Methods We selected 40 patients who transferred to the ICU with retained endotracheal intubation after abdominal surgery under general anesthesia in this study. 40 patients were randomly divided into the dexmedetomidine group (D group,20 cases) and midazolam group (M group,20 cases) . Patients in group D were treated with loading dose 1 μg/kg from central vein pump injection 20 min, 1h according to Ramsay score for each adjustment of drug dose is pumped into 0.2 ~ 0.7 μg/(kg.h). Patients in M group were given a loading dose of midazolam 0.05mg/kg intravenous injection 1 min, depending on the degree of sedation maintenance dose of 0.02 ~ 0.1 mg/(kg.h). Pain scores every 2 h (NRS),when the NRS score>4 sharing,plus fentanyl 1μg/kg. When the patients achieved the offline condition, the endotracheal tube was pulled out. The sedation efficiency, dosage of fentanyl, after discontinuation wake-up time, extubation time, duration of mechanical ventilation, the incidence of cardiovascular events and delirium were compared between two groups.Results The sedation efficacy in Group D sedation was significantly higher than in group M ( <0.05) . Compared with group M, the dosage of fentanyl in patients in D group was significantly reduced ( <0.05), the wake time after stopping, extubation time were significantly shorter ( <0.05) . The incidence of cardiovascular events has no significant difference between two groups during the treatment. The incidence of postoperative delirium in D group was significantly lower than in that in group M ( <0.05) . Conclusions Dexmedetomidine has good sedative effect, and can shorten the time of extubation with hemodynamic stability and low incidence of delirium for patients in the ICU. It is an ideal ICU sedative.
