Summary

The study aims to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on oxygenation and lung mechanics in morbidly obese patients

Detailed description

The patients of interest are morbid obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery. Dexmeditomidine will be infused intraoperatively after induction of anesthesia. lung mechanics (dead space and compliance) as well as oxygenation (PF ratio) will be monitored intraoperatively and postoperatively

Conditions

• Restrictive Lung Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Dexmedetomidine	Dexmedetomidine infusion was previously reported to improve oxygenation and lung dynamics in patients with obstructive lung diseases. In our study we are going to investigate its effect on oxygenation and lung dynamics in restrictive lung disease
DRUG	Normal saline	Normal saline
