Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Propofol
Is an alkylphenol, is primarily indicated for use as a general anesthetic and has minimal analgesic properties.~Propofol: For propofol, the current study will employ the Marsh parameters, with an initial effect site target concentration of 1.0 mcg/ml, a level likely to produce only mild sedation. Though our patient population is expected to be predominantly obese, a previous pharmacokinetic study has validated that constant infusions utilizing the dosing scheme of mcg-1•kg-1•min will yield similar effect site concentrations.25 The effect site target will be increased in increments approximately every five minutes until the pharmacodynamic targets defined in the study are attained.
011EG000
Group 2Dexmedetomidine
Dexmedetomidine is an alpha-2 adrenoreceptor agonist that has sedative, hypnotic, and analgesic effects.~Dexmedetomidine: For dexmedetomidine, an intravenous loading dose of 0.5 mcg/kg will be infused over 10 minutes and followed by an infusion starting at 0.5 mcg/kg/hr. This infusion will be titrated up to a maximum of 1.2 mcg/kg/hr.
