Dexmedetomidine on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Intracranial Hypertension
Interventions
Drug: normal saline
Registration Number
NCT02753205
Lead Sponsor
Gachon University Gil Medical Center
Brief Summary

Dexmedetomidine, might attenuate the sympathetic activation and contribute to stable hemodynamics. The investigator hypothesized that continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery, might help to attenuate the increment of intracranial pressure and the investigator would observe the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasonography.

Detailed Description

Laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery requires the Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum for a prolonged time, but this can cause significant increase in intracranial pressure. Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha2 receptor agonist might attenuate the sympathetic activation and contribute to stable hemodynamics. The investigator hypothesized that continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery, might help to attenuate the increment of intracranial pressure and the investigator would observe the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasonography.
