Summary
Cardiac surgery is associated with post-operative pain which is one of the major problems and
remains one of the most controversial issues. Inadequate pain control after cardiac surgery
increases the incidence of development of many complications. Intravenous opioids are
commonly used for postoperative analgesia either on demand "physician or nurse-controlled" or
patient -controlled.
Multimodal opioid sparing analgesia has become frequently used, These techniques can be
achieved with Dexmedetomidine, low-dose ketamine and magnesium.
The study hypotheses that control of perioperative quality of pain with opioid sparing
medications may improve analgesia and patient outcome.
