Effect of dexmedetomidine for epidural supplementation on postpartum sleep disturbance after cesarean delivery: a double-blind, randomized clinical trial
Intraoperative and postoperative continuous epidural infusion of low-dose dexmedetomidine significantly improved postpartum sleep quality, reduced the incidence of postpartum sleep disturbance, which may be associated with optimized analgesia effect and decreased postoperative ropivacaine consumption in parturients undergoing elective cesarean delivery. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.
