About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Heavy Bupivacaine Spinal Anesthesia

Patients were randomized into two groups, A group and B group. A group and B group patients are injected intravenous dexmedetomidine after intrathecal injection (IT) of heavy bupivacaine and injected intravenous dexmedetomidine before IT of heavy bupivacaine, respectively.

The investigators will compare of hemodynamics and patient's comfortability between two groups.

Read the detailed description

A and B group patients will intravenous inject dexmedetomidine 1mcg/kg for 10 minute loading infusion and 0.2mcg/kg/hr for continuous infusion. A group receive intravenous dexmedetomidine after procedure, and B group receive intravenous dexmedetomidine before procedure. Both group patients will hydrate 6 ml/kg crystalloid solution and will evaluated patient's anxiety and comfortability perioperative period. Vital signs will record 5 minutes interval at operating room and post-anesthetic care units.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Hypotension

    We compare incidence rate of hypotension during infusion of dexmedetomidine

    Measured: up to 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient's Anxiety

    We compared patient's anxiety using spielberger's state-trait anxiety inventory before and after surgery. This consists of two self-evaluation scales designed to assess state-anxiety and trait-anxiety. Each scale contains 20 items, each of which is rated from 1 to 4. Clinically significant levels of state or trait-anxiety were defined as scores >50 on the state- or trait-anxiety scale. State or trait-anxiety inventory's minimal score is 20 and maximal score is 80. We analyzed State Anxiety Inventory scale before and after surgery.

    Measured: up to 3 days
