  Background: Depending on the effect of dexmedetomidine in haemodynamic stability, it was started to be used as a sedative prior to and/or during surgical and other procedures in non-intubated adult and pediatric patients. In 2009, dexmedetomidine has been successfully used in laboring parturients. It provides maternal hemodynamic stability, anxiolysis, and stimulation of uterine contractions. Literature describes that dexmedetomidine has a high placental retention and does not cross the placenta, with less incidence of fetal bradycardia. We hypothesized that dexmamedetomidine would be effective in reducing the maternal hemodynamic responses to elective cesarean section in preeclmaptic patients without adverse neonatal effects. Methods: The series of the present study included forty parturients with preeclampsia who were planned for elective .. View More»
