Study Overview
Brief Summary
The central nervous system (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord. The term neuraxial anesthesia refers to the placement of local anesthetic in or around the CNS. Spinal anesthesia is a neuraxial anesthesia technique in which local anesthetic is placed directly in the intrathecal space. This will be a randomized trial to test the effectiveness of Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl to intrathecal ropivacaine 0.5% heavy in lower limb surgeries.
