Effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine (3µg vs 5µg) as an adjuvant to hyperbaric ropivacaine in cesarean section: A randomized double blind clinical study
Overview
- Phase
- Phase 4
- Status
- Not yet recruiting
- Sponsor
- Government Medical College Baroda
- Enrollment
- 126
- Locations
- 1
- Primary Endpoint
- 1.Monitoring of spinal characteristics (sensory and motor blockade, satisfaction of spinal anesthesia, visceral traction response, the quality of abdominal muscle relaxation and shivering & sedation score)
Overview
Brief Summary
We first determined whether dexmedetomidine combined with intrathecal hyperbaric ropivacaine could improve Hemodynamic stability during cesarean section with block characteristics and prolong postoperative sensory block with no effect on the motor block. Then, we determined which dose of dexmedetomidine was better.
