Summary
This study is designed to identify the plasma concentrations which are required to achieve
adequate sedation, using a Ramsay Sedation Scale. As an alpha 2 agonist, dexmedetomidine can
elicit hemodynamic changes, fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate. This study will
attempt to determine whether these changes can be predicted by plasma concentrations.
