Summary
Dexmedetomidine (Dex) activates the α2 adrenergic receptor that is present within the locus
coeruleus, leading to anxiolysis, hypnosis, analgesia, and sedation.
We conducted our research to compare the effects of fentanyl and DEX on the postoperative
analgesic profile and complications in morbidly obese patients after sleeve gastrectomy.
