Clonidine as a sedative adjunct in intensive care.

Abstract:

:A 63-year-old man underwent distal oesophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy. Postoperatively, controlled ventilation was necessary for 53 days because of anastomotic leakage. Multiple sedative regimens proved to be inadequate. By contrast, a fentanyl-midazolam combination with continuous supplementation of clonidine 0.014 micrograms kg-1 min-1 (1.44 mg 70 kg-1 24 h-1) was very effective in terms of sedation and pain relief. During combined fentanyl-midazolam and clonidine infusion, cardiovascular depression gradually developed over several days necessitating the institution of a dobutamine infusion (dose: 8-12 micrograms kg-1 min-1). Four attempts of abrupt clonidine withdrawal were followed by sympathetic overshoot reactions consisting of tachycardia, hypertension, agitation, and sweating. Discontinuation of clonidine was finally possible after a 12-day weaning period.
