Dexmedetomidine is an alpha2-adrenergic agonist with sedative properties used on awake sedation in diagnostic or surgical procedures in ICU. A unique feature of Dexmedetomidine is that it has analgesic properties in addition to its role as a hypnotic, but is opioid-sparing; thus, it is not associated with significant respiratory depression.
