Hemodynamic Response of High- and Low-Dose Dexmedetomidine of Pediatric in General Anesthesia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, which is off-labelled use for pediatric sedation. However, the hemodynamic responses of dexmedetomidine remain unclear in the pediatric population. The primary objectives of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to examine the he...

Our review demonstrated that high-dose dexmedetomidine was associated with lower heart rate than low-dose dexmedetomidine after intravenous bolus of dexmedetomidine (studies, 3; n = 274; mean difference MD, -5 -6 to -4; P < 0.0001) and during surgical stimulant (studies, 2; n = 153; MD, -11 -13 to -9; P < 0.0001). In comparison to the low-dose dexmedetomidine, high-dose dexmedetomidine was also associated with a significant longer recovery time (studies, 3; n = 257; MD, 5.90 1.56 to 10.23; P = 0.008) but a lower incidence of emergence agitation (studies, 2; n = 153; odds ratio, 0.17 0.03 to 0.95; P = 0.040).
