Effect of low-dose dexmedetomidine to prolong spinal anesthesia in elderly patients: a prospective randomized controlled study
Intravenous dexmedetomidine at a dosage of 0.4 µg/kg significantly prolongs the duration of spinal sensory blockade. Although postoperative analgesia was not different, it provided hemodynamic stability without increasing the side effects.
