Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out appropriate dose range of dexmedetomidine to provide the elderly patients satisfactory sedation and analgesia with stable hemodynamics during perioperative period of hip replacement under general anesthesia.
Detailed Description
All patients will be screened to determine eligibility for study entry, and the patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be informed about the study and potential risks. After giving written informed consent, the patients will be randomized into different doses of dexmedetomidine groups and the comparative groups in a same ratio.

Arms & Interventions
Group D0.25, Group D0.5, Group D0.75
Dexmedetomidine will be administered at different initial loading doses (0.25/0.5/0.75 μg/kg within 15min) following same maintained dosage ( 0.5μg/kg/h) in Group D0.25/D0.5/D0.75.
Intervention: Dexmedetomidine
Group NS, Group MD
In Group NS, patients will be pumped 0.1ml/kg of normal saline for 15min before anesthesia induction, following continuous infusion at the rate of 0.125ml/kg/h until the end of operation. In Group MD, patients will be administrated with midazolam 0.03mg/kg at the beginning of anesthesia induction.
Intervention: Normal saline
Group NS, Group MD
In Group NS, patients will be pumped 0.1ml/kg of normal saline for 15min before anesthesia induction, following continuous infusion at the rate of 0.125ml/kg/h until the end of operation. In Group MD, patients will be administrated with midazolam 0.03mg/kg at the beginning of anesthesia induction.
Intervention: Midazolam
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes of baseline blood pressure
Time Frame: Through the whole perioperative period, an average of 10 hours
Changes of baseline blood pressure in each group, including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure
Changes of baseline heart rate
Time Frame: Through the whole perioperative period, an average of 10 hours
Changes of baseline heart rate in each group
Numbers of elderly patients with hypotension
Time Frame: Through the whole perioperative period, an average of 10 hours
Hypotension is defined as systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure below \>20% of basal values.
Numbers of elderly patients with bradycardia
Time Frame: Through the whole perioperative period, an average of 10 hours
Bradycardia is defined as heart rate \<50 beats/min or below \>20% of basal values.
Secondary Outcomes
- Sedation changes after general anesthesia using Richmond agitation-sedation scale(before general anesthesia, up to 2 hours after general anesthesia)
- Pain changes after general anesthesia using visual analogue scale(before general anesthesia, up to 2 hours after general anesthesia)
