Abstract
Inadequate postoperative pain can hinder surgical recovery, impairing patient functionality and quality of life. The unfavorable side effects associated with a purely opioid based anesthetic have led anesthesia practitioners towards identifying alternative pharmacologic strategies to optimize postoperative analgesia. Respiratory depression, excessive sedation, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and gastrointestinal disturbances remain some of the most notable opioid related side effects. Alternatively, dexmedetomidine is one alpha-2-agonist that offers analgesic qualities without the associated aforementioned side effects. Dexmedetomidine has been used as a multimodal approach to anesthesia, offering suitable analgesia for control of postoperative pain.
