Knee surgery drug showdown: which calms blood pressure best?
NCT ID NCT06936410
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two medicines—dexmedetomidine and lidocaine—to see which better prevents sudden high blood pressure caused by a tourniquet during knee arthroscopy. 186 adults having outpatient knee surgery took part. Both drugs helped, but dexmedetomidine was more effective, though it caused more side effects like slow heart rate.
