- Abstract
Dexmedetomidine (DXM) is a selective 2-adrenoreceptor agonist acting over both the central and peripheral nervous system. Since it became available for medical application, DXM has been satisfactorily used for a broad spectrum of anesthetic procedures, ranging from sedation to interventions under general anesthesia. Its key advantages include its hemodynamic stability and minimal respiratory depression. This article provides a description of a successful cardiac resynchronization therapy implanting a biventricular pacemaker in a hemodynamically unstable patient under DXM and low-dose midazolam sedation.
