Summary
This study tested whether giving a sedative called dexmedetomidine during lung surgery (VATS) can reduce coughing and pain, and help patients recover faster. 144 adults having non-intubated VATS took part. The goal was to see if the drug improves comfort and reduces the need for other pain medicines during the procedure.
