Successful Management of Parkinson's Disease Dyskinesia During Local Anesthesia With Dexmedetomidine

Dyskinesia is among the most problematic issues for local anaesthesia management in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. We present a case of a patient with PD who underwent spinal anaesthesia while utilizing dexmedetomidine (DEX) to reduce dyskinesia during urological surgery. DEX stimulates α₂-adren...

Sumario:Dyskinesia is among the most problematic issues for local anaesthesia management in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. We present a case of a patient with PD who underwent spinal anaesthesia while utilizing dexmedetomidine (DEX) to reduce dyskinesia during urological surgery. DEX stimulates α₂-adrenergic receptors, which works to reduce the dyskinesia in PD patients.
