EFFECTIVENESS PF INTRATHECAL DEXMEDETOMIDINE AS ADJUVANT FOR SPINAL ANAESTHESIA FOR PERIANAL AMBULATORY SURGERIES –RADAMOISED CONTROL STUDY IN SOUTHERIN TIP OF TAMILNADU

Abstract

ABSTRACT :
Background : The newer trend in regional anaesthesia for ambulatory anorectal surgeries advocate use of lower dose of local anaesthetic, providing segmental block with adjuvants such as opioids and α2 agonists to prolong analgesia. The current study investigated effects of addition of 5 μg of dexmedetomidine to 6 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine on duration of analgesia, sensory and motor block characteristics for perianal ambulatory surgeries.
