Effects of Dexmedetomidine on the Intraoperative Electroencephalogram During Endarterectomy Surgery

Completed

Conditions studied: Endarterectomy, Carotid

In brief

During elective carotid endarterectomy surgery, dexmedetomidine, an FDA approved medication, is now given as part of our standard anesthetic regimen based upon its reported ability to decrease anesthetic requirements and improve the peri-operative hemodynamic profile without compromising the EEG monitoring that is used during these procedures. Although this is consistent with our clinical impression, the effects of dexmedetomidine on the perioperative course and EEG monitoring have not been objectively evaluated at our institution.
