The study was conducted to assess & compare the effect of pretreatment with intravenous Dexmedetomidine and Magnesium sulphate on characteristics SAB hyperbaric bupivacaine. 80 ASA grade I II patients (age: 18-60 years) scheduled for infraumblical surgery under spinal anesthesia were included randomly divided into group-D (dexmedetomidine 1μ gm/kg) group-M (magnesium sulfate 50 mg/kg). give...

BACKGROUND There are many adjuvant used along with bupivacaine for subarachnoid block, but fentanyl and clonidine are commonly used as adjuvant to intrathecal bupivacaine for prolonging both sensory and motor blockade as well as postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries. OBJECTIVE There is a paucity of studies comparing the efficacy of fentanyl and clonidine as ...

Hyperbaric bupivacaine is the most common drug used in spinal anesthesia for caesarean section. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of adding fentanyl to intrathecal bupivacaine on the onset and duration of spinal anesthesia and its effect on mother and neonate. Seventy healthy parturients with singleton pregnancy scheduled for elective cesarean section were randomly allocated to r...

Background The hip replacement surgery is intended to reduce the intensity of joint pain and improve quality of life in patients with arthritic disease. Advanced age is not a limit to surgical treatment for subarachnoid anesthesia, which is well tolerated by elderly patients. The aim of our study is to assess how spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine and buprenorphine and the subsequent...

BACKGROUND The technique of epidural volume extension (EVE) involves the injection of saline into the extradural space immediately following the intrathecal injection, as part of a combined spinal-epidural (CSE) anaesthetic. One of the suggested benefits of EVE is a reduction in local anaesthetic required. The aim of this study was to test this hypothesis by comparing the median effective doses...

Abstract Background and Aim Surgery for malleolar fractures is associated with severe pain. Ultrasonography-guided nerve blocks have quality, precision, drug dose reduction but are not preferred over spinal anesthesia. We conducted a study to compare the effectiveness of femoropopliteal block Objective The aim this was onset, duration, hemodynamic variability total analgesic requirement Methods...
