ABSTRACT

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a highly specific and effective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist. Due to its high protein binding rate, intravenous pumping can play a good role in sedation and hypnosis, analgesia, anti-anxiety, reducing inflammation, and so on, so it has been widely used in clinical anesthesia and basic research. In recent years, with the further study of dexmedetomidine, it has been found that it has a certain protective effect on nerve injury caused by various causes.
