Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Dexmedetomidine

TL;DR: Dexmedetomidine as discussed by the authors is an α2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, sympatholytic, and analgesic-sparing effects, and minimal depression of respiratory function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacokinetic models for propofol—defining and illuminating the devil in the detail

TL;DR: The recently introduced open-target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems can be programmed with any pharmacokinetic model, and allow either plasma- or effect-site targeting, and the Schnider model should always be used in effect- site targeting mode.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An overview of the PK and PD of propofol is provided in order to refresh readers’ knowledge of its clinical applications, while discussing the main avenues of research where significant recent advances have been made.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociating speech perception and comprehension at reduced levels of awareness
