مستخلص: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia requiring effective heart rate (HR) management. Conventional therapies may not always achieve the desired HR control during intraoperative conditions. We present two cases of AF patients in whom dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 receptor agonist, was utilized during surgery when conventional treatments proved ineffective. In Case 1, a 65-year-old male with multiple comorbidities underwent surgery. Despite receiving intraoperative medications for AF, his HR remained uncontrolled. Dexmedetomidine successfully stabilized his HR without complications. In Case 2, a 75-year-old male with heart disease experienced a sudden HR surge during surgery, which remained uncontrolled despite conventional treatment. Dexmedetomidine effectively managed his HR, ensuring a safer surgical course. While the primary indication of dexmedetomidine is not arrhythmia management, this case report suggests its potential in challenging cases. Further research is needed to explore its therapeutic role in tachyarrhythmia management and establish appropriate dosing strategies.
