Dexmedetomidine on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter

November 8, 2016 updated by: Hyun Jeong Kwak, Gachon University Gil Medical Center

Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter During Laparoscopic Anterior Resection

Dexmedetomidine, might attenuate the sympathetic activation and contribute to stable hemodynamics. The investigator hypothesized that continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery, might help to attenuate the increment of intracranial pressure and the investigator would observe the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasonography.

Withdrawn

Detailed Description

Laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery requires the Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum for a prolonged time, but this can cause significant increase in intracranial pressure. Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha2 receptor agonist might attenuate the sympathetic activation and contribute to stable hemodynamics. The investigator hypothesized that continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery, might help to attenuate the increment of intracranial pressure and the investigator would observe the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasonography.
