Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim of this randomized prospective study is to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of dexmedetomidine on outcomes in patients with isolated aortic stenosis after surgical aortic valve replacement.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study will investigate effects of two different doses of dexmedetomidine on concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6, on inflammatory parameters (C reactive protein and procalcitonin) and inflammatory complications, renal function, postoperative delirium, anaesthetic and analgetic consumption and compare it to control group. It should provide a better understanding of dexmedetomidine effect on decrease of inflammatory response in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Short-term infusion of dexmedetomidine could reduce inflammatory postoperative complications, contribute to improvement of perioperative renal function and occurrence of postoperative delirium, supporting recovery and shortening hospital stay.
