Abstract

The authors regret that an error occurred in the Methods Section Subsection “Anesthesia Management” on page e32-e34: Original statement with incorrect values: “Shortly after pre-anesthesia assessment and peripheral intravenous (IV) line placement, dexmedetomidine was started at 0.5 mg/kg/min …” The corrected statement should read as follows: “Shortly after pre-anesthesia assessment and peripheral IV placement, dexmedetomidine was started at 0.5 mcg/kg/hr …” Original statement with incorrect values: “Once in the operating room, the dexmedetomidine infusion of 0.2-0.5 mg/kg/min was supplemented with propofol at 20-50 mg/kg/min, if needed for patient comfort.” The corrected statement should read as follows: “Once in the operating room, the dexmedetomidine infusion of 0.2-0.5 mcg/kg/hr was supplemented with propofol at 20-50 mcg/kg/min, if needed for patient comfort.” Original statement with incorrect values: “Maintenance anesthetic was standardized to propofol 100-200 mg/kg/min, dexmedetomidine 0.5 mg/kg/min, and fentanyl was titrated based on the discretion of the anesthesia provider.” The corrected statement should read as follows: “Maintenance anesthetic was standardized to propofol 100-200 mcg/kg/min, dexmedetomidine 0.5 mcg/kg/hr, and fentanyl was titrated based on the discretion of the anesthesia provider.” The authors apologise for any inconvenience caused. Elird Bojaxhi MD, on behalf of all co-authors.
