Dexmeditomidine as Intrathecal Adjuvant to Isobaric Ropivacaine in Spinal Anaesthesia for Lower Limb Orthopaedic Surgeries – A Randomized Double Blind Controlled Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Despite the introduction of new and excellent inhalational and intravenous anaesthetic agents, as well as advent of potent neuromuscular relaxants, it is generally agreed that there is still a place for spinal anaesthesia, today because of definite advantages of spinal anaesthesia. Aims and Objective: present study was planned to find out the effect of addition of 5µg of dexmedetomidine with 3ml of 0.5% ropivacaine for lower limb orthopaedic surgery on sensory-motor block characteristics and postoperative analgesia. Material and Methods: Spinal anaesthesia with 15mg of plain Ropivacaine alone (R) or with dexmedetomidine 5µg (RD) for orthopaedic surgery was compared. Result - The present study demonstrated that addition of dexmedetomidine (5μg) to ropivacaine (15 mg .5% isobaric) was associated with early onset and prolonged duration of sensory and motor blockade with hemodynamically stability and long duration of postoperative analgesia without incidence of postoperative complication as compare to ropivacaine alone intrathecally.
