Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Post operative pain continue to be inadequate and not effectively managed because of fear of opoids causing development of respiratory depression and or addiction .Even though opoids are main stay in postoperative pain management. When opoids are used patient gets excellent post operative pain relief. Different drugs are used for post operative pain management. Here we have compared analgesic efficiency of buprenorphine and clonidine intrathecally for duration of anaesthesia and post operative pain relief and no. of rescue anaegesic and untoward effects. VAS score was used for assessment of pain relief in both groups. It was concluded from our study buprenorphine group has longer duration of postoperative analgesia more than 12 hours in 90% of patients and risk of respiratory depression was also not statistically significant. Hence we recommend that using intrathecal buprenorphine gives adequate duration of anaesthesia for prolonged surgeries and also gives excellent post operative pain relief which is important in clinical recovery of patients. Keywords: Effective analgesia, Subarachnoid block, α2 agonist, Opioids.
