Summary
Light to moderate sedation is recommended during surgery with spinal anesthesia . This study
is exploring which sedation drug is better, midazolam or dexmedetomidine for transurethral
resection of bladder and prostate in patients with or without high risk for obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA). Patients were divided in two groups regarding OSA risk, and each group received
midazolam or dexmedetomidine for sedation. Investigators observed intraoperative
complications of airway and factors that are disturbing surgeon(movement due to participants
coughing and restlessness) because one could puncture bladder or prostate and cause
perforation.
