Comparison of Dexmedetomidine and Clonidine Infusion on Depth of Anaesthesia and Blood Glucose Levels in PSI (Patient State Index) Guided General Anaesthesia in Thoracoabdominal Surgeries
Background: Surgical stress induces haemodynamic instability and stress-related hyperglycaemia, which may adversely affect perioperative outcomes. Alpha-2 adrenergic agonists such as dexmedetomidine and clonidine are used as anaesthetic adjuvants to attenuate this response. Patient State Index (PSI) monitoring allows o...
