Résumé
Purpose
Dexmedetomidine has been studied as an adjunct to opioid patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) because of its opioid-sparing properties and limited respiratory depression. However, potential dose-dependent haemodynamic effects should be considered, and data on dexmedetomidine administered via PCA remain limited.
