A Randomized Comparative Study Between Dexmedetomidine 100 And Clonidine 150 As Adjuvant To Ropivacaine In Ultrasound Guided Adductor Canal Block For TKR Surgeries

Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Unilateral primary osteoarthritisof knee,
Registration Number
CTRI/2021/09/036159
Lead Sponsor
Sanjay Gandhi Institute Of Trauma And Orthopedics
Brief Summary

•Lowerlimb surgeries can be performed under satisfactory anesthetic conditions usinggeneral, regional and peripheral nerve block anesthesia. Yet postoperative painand anesthetic side effects remain a problem.

•Theadductor canal block, beingsegmental in nature, can be expected to produce some advantages regardinghemodynamic stabilityandmay be a viable alternative to other techniques.

•Adductorcanalblock involves the unilateral administration of local anesthetics to the nerveswithout interveningcentral nervous system.

•Thisprocedureallows avoiding the useof poly pharmacy and also can be used as an alternative method in patientswith unstable cardiovascular systems

Primary objectives:

•Tocompare efficacy of Clonidine  and Dexmedetomedine as adjuvant to 0.2%Ropivacaine in adductorcanal block for knee arthroscopic surgeries, with respect to

•Onset ofsensory block

• Durationof sensory blockade

• Totalrescue analgesia consumption in the first 24hrs.

Secondary objectives

•Hemodynamicparameters

• Adverseeffects, if any.

• Cardiovascularor neurological complications if any
