Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Dexmedetomidine in the end-stage renal anesthesia for diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods Sixty patients with diabetic nephropathy who underwent renal transplantation at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from February 2015 to February 2016 were randomly divided into Dexmedetomidine group (group D) and control group (group C), 30 cases in each group. Group D was given Dexmedetomidine (1?μg/kg) 10 min before anesthesia induction, pumping was completed within 10 min, pumping was performed at 0.3?μg/(kg?h) during the anesthesia maintenance phase, and the pump was stopped 1?h before the operation. Group C was given normal saline in the same manner and at the same time, and the two groups of anesthesia induction and maintenance drugs were the same. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and bispectral index (BIS) were observed and recorded before administration (T0), 10 min after loading dose administration (T1), intubation time (T2), 30?min after stopping using Dexmedetomidine (T3), before the extubation (T4) and after the extubation (T5). Results There were significant differences in blood glucose, MAP, HR and BIS between the two groups at different time points (P?0.05). There were differences in blood glucose, MAP and HR between the two groups (P?0.05), and there was no difference in BIS values (P?>?0.05). There were differences in the changes of blood glucose, MAP and HR between the two groups (P?0.05). There was no difference in the change trend of BIS between the two groups (P?>?0.05). Conclusions Dexmedetomidine can be safely and effectively used in allogeneic renal transplantation for diabetic nephropathy, and it can improve perioperative hemodynamic changes.
