Groups2
Group 2 names the comparator: placebo.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Dexmedetomidine | Dexmedetomidine infusion, without a bolus dose, (or a comparable volume of placebo) will be initiated before the surgical incision at a rate of 0.1 mcg/kg/hr at the end of bypass, the dose will be increased to 0.2 mcg/kg/hr. Postoperatively patients will continue to receive the study medication at a rate of 0.4mcg/kg/hr. The study medication infusion will be continued for a total of 24 hours from the initial administration time intra-operatively.~Dexmedetomidine: Dexmedetomidine | 1 | 394 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Placebo | normal saline administration matching dexmedetomidine rate of infusion.~Placebo: Normal saline administration matching dexmedetomidine rate of infusion | 1 | 390 | EG001 |
