Randomized Controlled Trial
Propofol and dexmedetomidine for monitored anesthesia care during laser in situ keratomileusis.
The safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine during laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in stressed patients under topical anesthesia has not been fully investigated. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine in conjunction with topical anesthesia offered better conscious sedation for nervous patients during LASIK, but these patients required a longer recovery period.
