background and objectives : patients on mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit ( icu ) are often uncomfortable because of anxiety , pain , and endotracheal intubation ; therefore , require sedation . alpha-2 agonists are known to produce sedation . we compared clonidine and dexmedetomidine as sole agents for ...
Introduction Materials and Methods None Patients Study drugs Monitoring Protocol for sedation and analgesia Statistical analysis Results Discussion Conclusion
attaining an optimal level of sedation is a challenging act for the icu clinician . the discovery that clonidine has an opioid sparing property and attenuated withdrawal symptoms , sparked further interest in the use of alpha - 2 ( 2 ) agonists as intravenous ( iv ) sedatives . a resurgence in the research of 2 agonist...
