This is a single center, blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial. A total of 158 subjects (79 subjects in each arm) are planned. The control group will receive a traditional cardiac anesthetic using opioids, for which induction will include fentanyl and propofol. The experimental arm will receive an opioid free anesthetic with an induction bolus of dexmedetomidine and propofol. The investigators hypothesize that using the opioid free technique will be more hemodynamically stable within the first 10 minutes of induction.
