153 Dexmedetomidine in O&G
Monday, 17 August, 2026

Hi everyone Dexmedetomidine, is both a difficult word to pronounce correctly in casual conversation but also a useful pharmacological tool in many different situations. This week I am joined by one of our fellows Dr Han Lu to discuss dexmedetomidine, it’s history, it’s basic pharmacology and then more specifically it’s use in different clinical situations where it may be useful in obstetrics and gynaecology. Thanks Han for a great Tuesday talk and a very informative podcast!
