Study Overview

Brief Summary

The alpha2 agonist dexmedetomidine is a new sedative agent combined with the analgesic qualities and lack of respiratory depression. Patients sedated with dexmedetomidine could be easily roused, these advances shows dexmedetomidine may be a effective and safe sedative agent. But some studies showed some adversely effects of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics (such as bradycardia, hypotension), the investigators want to further research the effects of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics, such as Cardiac Output (CO), Systemic Venous Resistance Index(SVRI), and so on. Propofol is widely used sedative agent in ICU, it also has adversely effects like bradycardia and hypotension, so the investigators want to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine with propofol on haemodynamics after major abdominal surgery. Expect to further research the mechanism of haemodynamics of dexmedetomidine.

Detailed Description

When the patients can be roused, they will first receive analgesia with bolus of fentanyl 0.03mg, followed by a continuous infusion at a fixed dose of 0.3μg/kg/h during study period. Then patients will be randomly divided into two groups (Dexmedetomidine and Propofol). All of them will receive hemodynamic monitoring through "Vigileo"(Edwards Lifesciences) and cardiogram monitor. The study will continue for 6-24 hours.

Arms & Interventions

dexmedetomidine,hemodynamics,injection

Group 1:when the patient can be roused after major abdominal surgery ,we will inject dexmedetomidine at 1μg/kg in 10 minutes as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.3μg/kg/h for 6 to 24hours.then adjust the infusion dose to maintain the ramsay scale at 3-4 scores.

Intervention: dexmedetomidine (Drug)

propofol,hemodynamics,injection

Group 2 :when the patient can be roused after major abdominal surgery ,we will inject propofol at 0.5mg/kg as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.5mg/kg.h for 6 to 24hours.then adjust the infusion dose to maintain the ramsay scale at 3-4 scores

Intervention: propofol (Drug)
