Summary

The study was designed to define the interaction of intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine, an a2-adrenergic agonist, and sevoflurane in children having surgery by using the minimum alveolar concentration which can block adrenergic and cardiovascular responses to incision(MACbar) of sevoflurane as the measure of anesthetic potency.

Conditions

  • Children

Interventions

DRUG

dexmedetomidine

children received intravenous infusion with a bolus dose dexmedetomidine and followed by a continuous infusion before induction. use sevoflurane for induction and a steady-state end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was maintained for at least 15 min before skin incision.
