Data suggests that intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine, started 15-20 minutes before the induction of general anesthesia, can significantly reduce the doses of intravenous anesthetics, MAC of inhalation anesthetics, and requirements in opioid analgesics during the surgery. Intraoperative infusion of dexmedetomidine prolongs the time of the first requirement of analgesics after surgery, reduces the average pain intensity in the early postoperative period, and also requirements in opioid analgesics.
