Popis: BACKGROUND: Hypothermia improves outcomes following ischemia-reperfusion injury. Shivering is common and can be mediated by agents such as dexmedetomidine. The combination of dexmedetomidine and hypothermia results in bradycardia. We hypothesized that glycopyrrolate would prevent bradycardia during dexmedetomidine-mediated hypothermia. METHODS: We randomly assigned eight healthy subjects to premedication with a single 0.4mg glycopyrrolate intravenous (IV) bolus, titrated glycopyrrolate (0.01mg IV every 3 minutes as needed for heart rate 0.05). Mean arterial blood pressure was higher in the glycopyrrolate bolus condition (p
