Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Regional anaesthesia has a lot of advantages compared to general anesthesia such as effective motor & sensory blockade , prolonged postoperative analgesia , no airway manipulation etc. Adding adjuvant like Dexmedetomidine potentiates such action. Method: A study was undertaken to compare anaesthetic properties of Ropivacaine alone with Ropivacaine and Dexmedetomidine. Hundred patients, age18-65 yrs , ASA I & II, randomly divided into 2 groups (each 50). Group I received Roipvacaine and Group II Roipvacaine with Dexmedetomidine. Onset time, maximum level and duration of sensory & motor blockade studied. Result: Dexmedetomidine group showed rapid onset of action, prolonged duration of sensory and motor block, better sedation score. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to local anesthetic potentiates the anesthetic and analgesic properties.
