Abstract
Context: Local anaesthesia with sedation is a well established approach used for tympanoplasty. Dexmedetomidine is a new drug which acts on α2-adrenergic receptors in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord to produce analgesic effects. Aims: Efficacy and safety of intravenous dexmedetomidine in comparison to propofol. Setting and Design: Randomized controlled trial. Materials and Methods: Eighty patients were randomly allocated to receive either dexmedetomidine or propofol as intravenous bolus followed by the same in infusion supplemented with local anaesthesia for tympanoplasty. Statistical Analyses Used: Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 15.0. Results:Dexmedetomidine and propofol provides adequate sedation but the use of propofol is associated with more requirements of rescue analgesia and poor patient and surgeon satisfaction. Conclusion: These results suggest that dexmedetomidine provides adequate sedation with analgesia and good surgical and patient comfort without any adverse effects for patients undergoing tympanoplasty under local anaesthesia Keywords: Dexmedetomidine, Propofol, Sedation, Surgery
