Summary
The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after lung resection varies between 12% and 30%
after lobectomy and 23%-67% after pneumonectomy. The average time of onset of AF after lung
resection is 2-3 days. AF after pulmonary resection can cause symptoms, hemodynamic
instability, and stroke.Furthermore, AF following pulmonary resection may triple the mean
duration stay in the intensive care unit and increase the total length of hospital stay by
2-9 days, with an increased in associated hospitalization costs.lastly, AF after lung
resection has been associated with an increased risk of mortality , although the arrhythmia
is more likely to be a consequence of other associated cardiopulmonary complications, rather
than the main cause of death.
our study aim to assess the role of intra operative dexmedetomidine in reduction of early
postoperative atrial fibriliation in patients undergoing thoracic non cardiac surgeries.
Objectives:
1. To evaluate possible efficacy of intraoperative dexmedetomidine in reduction of
postoperative atrial fibriliation in patients undergoing thoracic non cardiac surgeries
2. To determine the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation after thoracic non cardiac
surgeries in patients given intra operative dexmedetomidine
