Overview
Brief Summary
Summary:
This prospective, comparative study evaluates the efficacy of ropivacaine with and without dexmedetomidine for infraclavivular brachial plexus block in forearm surgeries, focusing on post-operative analgesia
Methodology:The patients are randomised into two groups (Group A and Group B) of 20 patients each using computer generated random number method. Group A patients will receive Plain 0.75% Ropivacaine and Group B patients will receive 0.75% Ropivacaine with 1μg/kg Dexmedetomidine
The following parameters will be recorded post-operatively at fixed time intervals:
-vas score
-Ramsay sedation score
-time for rescue analgesia
