Comparative Study Evaluating Effects of Intravenous Sedation by Dexmedetomidine and Propofol on Patient Hemodynamics and Postoperative Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery

Abstract

Background: In cardiac surgery, the choice of intravenous sedatives plays a crucial role in maintaining hemodynamic stability and ensuring favorable postoperative outcomes. Dexmedetomidine and propofol are commonly used agents, each with distinct pharmacological properties. This study aims to compare the effects of intravenous sedation by dexmedetomidine and propofol on patient hemodynamics and postoperative outcomes in cardiac surgery.
