Abstract

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is an anaesthetic agent that mimics natural deep sleep and produces minimal cardiorespiratory depression. As such, it is a very valuable option in the management of such a challenging population as paediatric patients. The main objective of this mini review was to evaluate the role of DEX as a perioperative analgesic in children receiving anaesthesia. We searched Google, Pubmed, Embase and the Cochrane Library for articles published between 2010 and 2021, and reviewed various of aspects of DEX, such as pharmacology, effectiveness, safety, and the most recent evidence on its clinical use as an analgesic in paediatric anaesthesia. We also include a cost estimate of perioperative analgesia with DEX.

Resumen

La dexmedetomidina (DEX) es un agente anestésico que mimetiza el sueño profundo natural y produce una mínima depresión cardiorrespiratoria, convirtiéndose en una opción muy valiosa en el manejo de un paciente tan exigente como es el pediátrico. El objetivo principal de esta mini revisión fue centrarse en el papel de DEX como analgésico en el período perioperatorio de niños sometidos a anestesia. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica, entre 2010 y 2020, en Google, Pubmed, Embase y Cochrane Library. Se repasaron diferentes aspectos como su farmacología, efectividad, seguridad y la evidencia más reciente sobre su uso clínico como analgésico en anestesia pediátrica. Igualmente se incluyó una estimación de coste del tratamiento analgésico perioperatorio con DEX.
