Background:Preemptive analgesia is the initiation of analgesic regimen before the onset of nociceptive stimulation, preventing the amplification of pain due to peripheral and central sensitization and thereby reducing subsequent pain. Preemptive analgesia of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in the epidural and subarachnoid space can effectively prevent the central sensitization, and significantly reduce the phantom limb pain, residual pain after one year of lower limb amputation. Objective: To investigate the per-operative effects of DEX preemptive analgesia. Method:The patients scheduled noncardiac surgery undergoing general anesthesia were selected and divided into DEX group and Placebo group randmized. The DEX group was continuously pumped at 1.5 μg /(kg·h) for 15 minutes before induction, and 15min after induction. The Placebo group was infused with equal amounts of normal saline.The Coprimary efficacy outcome was a composite of analgesia effect, one is the Compliance Rate of IOC2 target in intra-operation, another is the the rate of none-to-slight post-operative pain assessed with the p-NRS≦3 at 12 hours after surgery \[Pain numeric rating scale was assessed with the (Numeric Rating Scale, p-NRS)\].

The DEX group was continuously pumped at 1.5 μg /(kg·h) for 15 minutes before induction, and after induction continue infusion 15min.
The Placebo group was infused with equal amounts of isochronous normal saline.
Xuanwu hospital
Beijing, Beijing Municipality, China
The coprimary efficacy outcome
The rate of intro-operative IOC2 target reachment
Time frame: During the whole operation
The coprimary efficacy outcome
The rate of none-to-slight post-operative pain, assessed with the (Numeric Rating Scale)p-NRS\< =3 at 24h post-opertively.
Time frame: post-operative 24 hours
The primary safety outcome
Adverse events and safety outcomes within during 48 h post-operation: hypotension, Hypertension,Bradycardia,Tachycardia,Respiratory depression,Pulse oxygen desaturation and the number of patients which need intervention.
Time frame: During 48 h post-operation
SBP
systolic blood pressure(intraoperative hemodynamics)
Time frame: During the whole operation
DBP
dystolic blood pressure(intraoperative hemodynamics)
Time frame: During the whole operation
MAP
mean arterial pressure(intraoperative hemodynamics)
Time frame: During the whole operation
HR
Heart rate (intraoperative hemodynamics)
Time frame: During the whole operation
Bispectral index
Bispectral index
Time frame: During the whole operation

pNRS at Hour 0, Hour 24, Hour 48, and the Day 7 postoperatively
Record and compared the pNRS at Hour 0, Hour 24, Hour 48, and the Day 7 postoperatively. (The p-NRS was an 11-point scale with 0 indicating no pain and 10 equaled worst pain).
Time frame: post-operation p-NRS until 7 days(inculde Hour 0, Hour 24, Hour 48, and the Day 7 timepoints)
mPONV
modified postoperative nausea vomiting (mPONV) score at postoperative immediately (0 hour)and 24 hours post-operatively. Modified PONV Scoring Criteria: 0 points: No nausea or vomiting. 1. point: Nausea present, no vomiting. 2. points: Nausea with one vomiting episode. Additional points: +1 per additional vomiting episode (e.g., 4 vomiting episodes = 5 points).
Time frame: Postoperative immediately and until 12 hours post-operatively
The accumulation of analgesia consumption
The accumulation of analgesia consumption was used to describe oxycodone accumulation (oral administration of oxycodone 5 mg for each complaint of pain) at Hour 24, Hour 48, and the Day 7 after surgery.
Time frame: Hour 24, Hour 48, and the Day 7 after surgery
Dizziness
Dizziness at Hour 0, Hour 24 and the Hour 48 post-operatively
Time frame: Hour 0, Hour 24 and the Hour 48 post-operatively
Agitation
Agitation immediately afer surgery(Hour 0 post-operation)
Time frame: immediately afer surgery(Hour 0 post-operation)
The rate of exhaust
The rate of exhaust at first 24hours post-operation
Time frame: until 24hours post-operation
Extubation time
Extubation time
Time frame: after operation immediately
