Mechanism of action
Dexmedetomidine acts as a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist producing sedation and analgesia. Esketamine is an NMDA receptor antagonist providing dissociative anesthesia and analgesia. Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic that blocks sodium channels in nerve fibers. Together, this combination provides multimodal anesthesia and analgesia for procedural use.
