Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study protocol aims to evaluate the effect of dexmeditomedine as adjuvant to 0.5% bupivacaine and 0.5% plain bupivacaine under usg guided interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) for patient undergoing shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia. The primary objective is to assess the postoperative analgesia with dexmeditomedine as adjuvant to 0.5% bupivacaine with 0.5% plain bupivacaine under usg guided interscalene brachial plexus block for patient undergoing shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia. Secondary objectives include to evaluate the Intraoperative Hemodynamic stability and Side effects (if any). The study will be conducted at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital in Sawangi, Wardha, over a 2-year period. The study design is Prospective Randomized Interventional Study, and the source of data will be patients aged 18 to 65 years undergoing under usg guided interscalene brachial plexus block for patient undergoing shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia. A total of 60 patients will be included, with 30 in each group. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be alternative randomly allocated into one of those two groups (Group B & Group BD of patients in each group and both groups will receive equal volume of drug (0.5% Bupivacaine 20ml + 0.2 ml adjuvant, so total of 20.2 ml). Outcome measures include the postoperative analesgia, Intraoperative Hemodynamic stability and Side effects as well as pain scores assessed using a visual analogue scale. Postoperative pain was measured for first 6 hours using the visual analog scale (VAS). Data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical tests, and ethical considerations will be followed throughout the study. The results of this study are expected to provide insights into the potential benefits of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant in peripheral nerve blocks for shoulder arthroscopy, contributing to enhanced postoperative pain management strategies and patient outcomes.
