Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: In the intravenous fentanyl analgesia group (group F, n = 15), 0.5 microg x kg(-1) x hr(-1) fentanyl infusion was initiated during operation and continued to the next morning. In the intravenous dexmedetomidine group (group D, n = 15), 0.4-0.7 microg x kg(-1) x hr(-1) dexmedetomidine infusion was commenced during the operation and decreased to 0.2-0.7 microg x kg(-1) x hr- in the next morning. In the control group (group C, n = 15), continuous intravenous analgesia was not used. The frequency of analgesic use, Ramsay score, PaCO2 value, and rate of nausea and shivering were evaluated on the next morning. RESULTS: The frequency of analgesic use and Ramsay score were similar in groups F and D. The Paco2 value was higher in group F than group D. CONCLUSIONS:
