| Core Tip |
This study demonstrates that administering a loading dose of dexmedetomidine (DEX) as a pre-treatment strategy before anesthesia induction offers notable benefits for elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Compared to the routine use of DEX solely during surgery, pre-treatment with DEX enhanced postoperative analgesia, reduced oxidative stress and inflammation, accelerated recovery of gastrointestinal and cognitive functions, and lowered the incidence of agitation without increasing intraoperative hemodynamic risks. These findings highlight the critical importance of the timing of DEX administration and suggest a promising optimized anesthesia approach to promote recovery in elderly surgical patients. |
