Summary
The proposed study is a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, single-center
pilot study. The target population for the study will be adult pregnant women undergoing
elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. This study will be carried out at a single
site, the CHU Sainte-Justine as part of a research internship as part of the anesthesiology
residency program at the University of Montreal.
The aim of this pilot project is to evaluate the feasibility of a phase III study on the use
of dexmedetomidine in intrathecal in the context of elective cesarean section and to
demonstrate analgesia equivalent to the injection of opioids in intrathecal with lesser side
effects.
