A limited body of generally poor to moderate quality evidence suggests that the use of DEX may be efficacious in certain clinical scenarios in the ED, and that dexmedetomidine use in the emergency department is likely safe. Further high-quality research into DEX use in the ED setting is needed, with a particular focus on clear and consistent selection of indications, identification of clear and clinically relevant primary outcomes, and careful assessment of the clinical implications of the hemodynamic effects of DEX therapy.
