Dexmedetomidine is a newer drug for sedation with a better clinical profile. We conducted this study to compare the sedative efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus propofol in patients after head and neck cancer surgeries requiring mechanical ventilation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After ethics committee approval and written informed consent, 80 patients undergoing head and neck onco-surgery were recruited. The patients were randomly allocated to group I [1 mg\/kg of bolus propofol over 15 minutes followed by infusion of 1 mg\/kg\/hour titrated by increasing or decreasing the infusion dose to Ramsay Sedation Score (RSS) 2\u20134] or group II (a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 1 mcg\/kg over 15 minutes followed by a maintenance dose of 0.4 \u00b5g\/kg\/hour titrated to desired sedation level). The RSS, behavioral pain scale (BPS), heart rate, blood pressure, fentanyl consumption, additional sedative agent, extubation time, length of ICU stays, mechanical ventilation duration, side effects, and patient\u2019s satisfaction were noted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Total fentanyl required was 0.56 \u00b1 0.13 \u00b5g\/kg\/hour in group II and 0.58 \u00b1 0.18 \u00b5g\/kg\/hour in group I (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.75). Extubation time, RSS, BPS, patient satisfaction, and ICU duration were similar in both the groups. The incidence of hemodynamic-related adverse effects were 41.67% in group II and 11.11% in group I (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.006).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The fentanyl requirement was comparable in both the groups in the postoperative period. Dexmedetomidine was associated with an increased incidence of bradycardia and hypotension as compared to the propofol group.
