Dexmedetomidine(Cat No.:A000563)is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist used for sedation in intensive care settings and during surgical procedures. It provides sedation, analgesia, and anxiolysis without causing significant respiratory depression. Dexmedetomidine works by activating alpha-2 receptors in the central nervous system, leading to reduced sympathetic activity and enhanced parasympathetic activity. This results in a calm, sedated state with potential for easy arousal and cooperation. It is particularly useful for patients requiring prolonged sedation and has a favorable safety profile, with common side effects including bradycardia and hypotension.
