“…Dexmedetomidine has the advantages of sensory block and analgesia. On the one hand, due to its effect at the spinal cord level, it inhibits the release of norepinephrine and blocks the transmission of pain signals to the brain by acting on A2 receptors in the presynaptic membrane and posterior membrane of the spinal cord [ 29 ]. On the other hand, due to its effect on the A2 receptor of the cerebral vena cava, it inhibits the excitation of the neurons in the vena cava and blocks the pain nerve signal transduction pathway of the medullary globus-spinal cord to achieve sedation and analgesia [ 30 ].…”

“…The dose of DEX may affect the anesthesia time, the postoperative eye-opening time, and the extubation time [ 18 , 19 ]. It is further suggested that DEX has a highly selective excitatory effect on α 2 adrenalin receptors in the locus coeruleus of the brain and can effectively inhibit the discharge function of neurons, thus exerting analgesic and sedative effects.…”

“…16e19 Older trials of dexmedetomidine in this population did not examine delirium as the primary outcome, further limiting the quality of conclusions drawn. 20e23 Since the previous systematic reviews were published, several large trials have been conducted evaluating postoperative delirium as their primary outcome measure, 11,12,24 and those trials have the potential to add significant weight and quality to the available evidence base.…”
