Clonidine mitigates surgical stress by reducing catecholamine levels, thus stabilizing heart rate and blood pressure, leading to smoother anesthesia and recovery phases.
Clonidine acts on alpha-2 receptors, decreasing sympathetic activity. This helps maintain consistent blood pressure and heart rate, reducing perioperative risks and improving patient comfort.
