Interventions
Dexmedetomidine
Loading Dose: Dexmedetomidine is usually administered as a loading dose of 0.25 mcg/kg slowly. Maintenance Dose: After the loading dose, the maintenance infusion rate is typically 0.2 to 0.7 mcg/kg/hour in syringe pump . The exact rate can be adjusted based on the hemodynamics of the patient (blood pressure and heart rate) and the patient's response.
Dexmedetomidine and ketamine ( Ketodex )
Ketodex Group (Combination of Ketamine and Dexmedetomidine) (K): Ketamine Component: Loading Dose: Ketamine is typically given at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg as a bolus injection. Maintenance Dose: A maintenance infusion of 0.2 to 0.5 mg/kg/hour is common to maintain anesthesia in syringe pump. Dexmedetomidine Component: Loading Dose: As with the dexmedetomidine group, a loading dose of 0.25 mcg/kg slowly is administered. Maintenance Dose: The maintenance infusion rate for dexmedetomidine remains 0.2 to 0.7 µg/kg/hour in syringe pump.
