Remifentanil vs dexmedetomidine for severely preeclamptic parturients scheduled for cesarean section under general anesthesia: A randomized controlled trial

Conclusion Both remifentanil and dexmedetomidine were effective on blunting the pressor response to noxious stimuli in severely preeclamptic parturients. While remifentanil was marginally more effective in suppressing the pressor response, dexmedetomidine was safer for the neonates.
