Summary
This study looked at two different IV anesthesia combinations for teenagers (ages 12-18) having scoliosis surgery. One group received propofol with remifentanil, the other propofol with dexmedetomidine. The goal was to see which approach leads to less opioid pain medication and better pain control after surgery. The study was terminated early with only 13 participants, so results are limited.
