conclusions premedication with clonidine to decrease intraoperative blood loss can be more effective in patients with opium addiction than the ones without addiction. results intraoperative blood loss in clonidine recipient groups, patients with and without addiction, was less than that of the placebos (both p values < 0.01) and the difference magnitude was higher in patients with opium addicti...
