EFFECT OF INTRAVENOUS DEXMEDETOMIDINE ON DURATION OF SPINAL ANESTHESIA WITH HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE

Abstract

One of the often employed anaesthetic techniques for lower limb procedures is the sub arachnoid block. Several adjuvants can extend the time and quality of the block. Aim: This study assessed the onset and duration of sensory and motor block, hemodynamic effect, postoperative analgesia, and side effects of dexmedetomidine administered intravenously together with hyperbaric intrathecal 0.5% bupivacaine
