- The ED50 of DEX for providing sedation [ Time Frame: 30min after the start of the infusion ]The aim of this study is to define the optimum bolus dose (ED50) of dexmedetomidine for producing adequate sedation during spinal anesthesia in different female age group using the Dixon and Mood up-and-down method。
- The ED95 of DEX [ Time Frame: 30min after the start of the infusion ]To determine the optimum bolus dose (ED95) of dexmedetomidine for producing adequate sedation during spinal anesthesia in different female age group.
