Anesthetic-sparing effect of dexmedetomidine during total intravenous anesthesia for children undergoing dental surgery: A randomized controlled trial

"A 1 mcg/kg bolus of Dexmedetomidine reduced the propofol and remifentanil requirements during anesthesia maintenance in children when administered as a postinduction bolus."

Effect of low-dose dexmedetomidine to prolong spinal anesthesia in elderly patients: a prospective randomized controlled study

"Intravenous dexmedetomidine at a dosage of 0.4 µg/kg significantly prolongs the duration of spinal sensory blockade. Although postoperative analgesia was not different, it provided hemodynamic stability without increasing the side effects."

Dexmedetomidine versus labetalol for induced hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery: a randomized, double-blind study

"Dexmedetomidine provided better hemodynamic stability and operative field visibility than Labetalol during FESS."
