The Effects of Dexmedetomidine Dose on Motor Evoked Potentials During Spine Surgery: A Randomized, Single-blind Trial

This a parallel group, two-arm, randomized superiority trial that will compare the effect of
two different doses of dexmedetomidine on motor evoked potentials during spine surgery

This a parallel group, two-arm, randomized superiority trial that will compare the effect of
two different doses of dexmedetomidine on suitability of motor evoked potentials for
intraoperative monitoring during spine surgery

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients undergoing multi-level posterior spine fusions requiring motor evoked
potential monitoring

Exclusion Criteria:

- Allergy to dexmedetomidine, propofol

- Conditions knows to make recording of motor evoked potentials difficult, including
poorly controlled diabetes, severe peripheral neuropathy, severe myelopathy, or
previous surgery during which motor evoked potentials were difficult to obtain

- Hepatic disease
