Evaluation of Dexmedetomidine on Delirium in Elderly Patients Postoperatively: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Dexmedetomidine demonstrated a beneficial role in reducing the incidence and duration of delirium, stabilizing hemodynamic parameters, and shortening hospital stay compared to normal saline. Incorporating dexmedetomidine into standard sedation protocols, alongside nonpharmacological strategies, may improve patient outcomes and enhance recovery.
