Abstract

Background and Objective: Opioid free anesthesia is a new discussion in the world of anesthesia. The available evidence suggests that opioids also have unintended effects. Dexmedetomidine is a selective 2-adrenergic receptor (α2-AR) agonist drug, that this drug has an opioid-sparing effect, and a faster recovery rate after anesthesia. To compare the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl on the depth of anesthesia and post-anesthesia recovery in supratentorial neurosurgery operations. Subject and Methods: A total of 40 research samples was divided into 2 groups, namely group A (Dexmedetomidine) and group B (Fentanyl). The number of research samples in each group was 20 people. Both groups of patients will be fitted with a bispectral index (BIS) during surgery. Both groups will measure the post-anesthesia recovery time since the anesthetic drug was discontinued Results: Based on statistical tests, it was found that the use of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl had an optimal anesthetic effect, where there was no significant difference between these two anesthetic agents in achieving optimal anesthetic levels based on the BIS Index. From statistical analysis was found that post-anesthesia recovery time on dexmedetomidine was faster than the administration of fentanyl, with a difference of 5.10 minutes (p<0.05) with statistically significant difference in the speed of post-anesthesia recovery between the use of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl. Conclusion: The use of dexmedetomidine in supratentorial neurosurgical surgery anesthesia has a faster post- anesthesia recovery time than the use of fentanyl.
