A Comparative Study Between 0.25% Ropivacaine with Dexmedetomidine and 0.25% Ropivacaine with Clonidine as adjuvants in Ultrasound Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Various studies have investigated the role of different drugs as adjuncts to SBPB to prolong the duration and quality of analgesia without producing any major adverse effects. We conducted a study to compare the novel alpha 2 agonists (clonidine and dexmedetomidine) with respect to onset, duration of block and postoperative analgesia when added as adjuvants to the local anaesthetic 0.25% ropivacaine
