Comparison of Dexmedetomidine and Midazolam with Respect to Dreaming during Sedation under Regional Anesthesia in Patients at Bhuj, Kutch: A Prospective Study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and Aim: Regional anesthesia offers several benefits over general anesthesia. But to the patient it may be stressful as they stay awake. Sedation during regional anesthesia plays an important role in reducing the stress and patient satisfaction. Present study was designed with an aim to compare 2 different IV sedation protocols midazolam and Dexmedetomidine with respect to dreaming during sedation under regional anesthesia. Methodology: The study was conducted at Department of Anesthesia Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Science, Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat. One hundred and twenty adult patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups; Group M received IV inj midazolam and Group D received inj dexmedetomidine for sedation during spinal anesthesia. Sedation was assessed on Ramsay Sedation Score. Patients were interviewed on emergence and 30 minutes later to determine the incidence of dreams. Postoperatively, patient satisfaction with the sedation was also evaluated. The patients satisfaction was assessed using a scale from 1– 100. Any untoward side effects were noted. Results: 60 patients in each group were included in the final analysis. The incidence of dreaming was 16% in the midazolam group and 3% in the dexmedetomidine group. High level of satisfaction with the sedation was observed in dexmedetomedine group. In this group 66% patients expressed sedation as excellent, 11% good and 15% termed it as satisfactory. Midazolam was associated with decreased patient satisfaction; 26% patients termed it as excellent, 58% good and 15% satisfactory. Conclusion: During spinal anesthesia with sedation, patients receiving midazolam had 5 times more dreaming than those receiving dexmedetomidine. However, dexmedetomidine provides better quality of sedation during regional anesthesia resulting in superior patient satisfaction than midazolam.
