Abstract   (60 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to compare the effects of propofol and dexmedetomidine infusion on sedation in the Recovery Room in Patients Undergoing Cholecystectomy.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 71 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Yasuj in 2023-2024. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: 35 received propofol and 36 received dexmedetomidine. The level of agitation was assessed using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) at (.) and 40 minutes after surgery by the researcher. Data analysis was performed using SPSS (version 27) software and statistical methods including Chi-square, independent t-test, and paired t-test. A significance level of P < 0.05 was considered.
Findings: The results showed that at 40 minutes after the intervention, the mean agitation level in patients receiving dexmedetomidine [0.22 (0.72)] was lower than that of the propofol group [0.63 (0.81)], indicating better sedation. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.028).
Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine may be recommended as a preferable option for anesthesia management in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
