Dexmedetomidine produces more sleep-like brain activity compared to propofol

2025-06-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Dexmedetomidine is a selective α 2 -adrenergic agonist used as an anesthesia adjunct to produce a state of sleep-like sedation. However, how brain activity compares quantitatively during dexmedetomidine anesthesia to that during natural sleep, and thus just how “sleep-like” dexmedetomidine anesthesia is, remains unclear. Previously, we showed that the general anesthetic propofol is associat...
