Use of dexmedetomidine and opioids as the primary anesthetic in infants and young children: A retrospective cohort study

Anesthetic regimens using dexmedetomidine and short‐acting opioids have been suggested as potential alternatives to sevoflurane‐based anesthesia in children. The primary aim of this study is to compare demographics, intraoperative characteristics, and complications of general anesthetics in which dexmedetomidine and opioids were used without sevoflurane, or in combination with a low sevoflurane concentration, in children 36 months old and younger. The secondary aim is to evaluate intraoperative bispectral index (BIS) values when available in these patients.
