Comparative Study Of Postoperative Analgesia After Intrathecal Ropivacaine Heavy with Fentanyl and Ropivacaine Heavy with Dexmedetomidine In Lower Abdominal Surgeries-A Randomised Controlled Trial

Spinal anaesthesia is widely used technique for infra umbilical surgeries providing fast onset and effective sensory and motor blockade and prolonged postoperative analgesia.spinal hyperbaric Ropivacaine may produce more reliable and predictable anaesthesia than plain Ropivacaine. Among the various adjuvants added to intrathecal spinal anaesthesia Dexmedetomidine and Fentanyl are commonly used. Recently hyperbaric Ropivacaine is being introduced into the clinical practice and there is a dearth in literature regarding use of hyperbaric Ropivacaine for subarachnoid block. Hence this study is designed to investigate and compare the effects of Hyperbaric Ropivacaine with additives such as Fentanyl and Dexmedetomidine on spinal anaesthesia.
