Abstract
Awareness and recall causing posttraumatic stress disorder are the major hazards of General Anaesthesia in cesarean section because of exclusion of Benzodiazepines and opioids in the anaesthetic management before baby delivery. Hence based on above findings the present study was planned for Clinical Evaluation of Administration of Intravenous dexmedetomidine in Females Undergoing Lower Segment Cesarean Section under General Anesthesia. The present study was conducted in Department of Anesthesia, Government Medical College, Bettiah, Bihar, India. The 30 cases of the patients undergone the caesarean section under General Anesthesia were included in the present study. The 15 cased were enrolled in the Group I as Cases administered with the 1mcg/kg IV dexmedetomidine 10 minutes before induction. The Group II cases were control cases without dexmedetomidine. The data generated from the present study concludes that loading dose of IV dexmeditomedine 1mcg/kg is effective in aborting awareness without affecting Apgar score. Dexmedetomidine, when given as a pre-anaesthetic medication and intraoperative infusion, decreases stress response to various noxious stimuli and maintains haemodynamic stability.
