Study Summary

Dexmedetomidine is a unique sedative medication able to provide sedation without causing respiratory depression and maintaining neurological functions. Patients having an acute ischemic stroke and need to undergo endovascular therapy require constant assessment of their neurological status prior, during and after the interventional procedure. In this study the investigators will compare the efficacy of Dexmedetomidine to other standard sedative medications in providing optimal sedative effect while maintaining neurological function.

Primary Outcome

One minute interval between patient event assessments will be given to prevent subjective bias. After every one minute, it will be determined if an event has occurred. Over the length of the procedure, the total number of one-minute intervals with an event occurrence will be summed and then divided by the total of mi
