Background and goals. Oral, intrathecal, and intravenous clonidine prolong bupivacaine
spinal anesthesia. There is no information on the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine to …

Background: Regional anesthesia is the preferred technique for most of lower abdominal
and lower limb surgeries. For decades, lignocaine had been the local anesthetic of choice …

Background: Alpha 2-adrenergic agonists have synergistic action with local anesthetics and
may prolong the duration of sensory, motor blockade and postoperative analgesia obtained …

Results: The median block height in all groups was T8. Time to achieve block height was
fastest in Group I. Time of regression of sensory block to T12/L1 dermatome was …

Background: We compared the onset and duration of sensory block, onset and duration
duration of motor block, analgesia time, and adverse effects along with the hemodynamic …

Background and objectives: Different adjuvants have been used to prolong intrathecal
spinal anesthesia, with the possible advantages of delayed onset of post-operative pain …

Purpose In this study we investigated the effects of intravenously administered
dexmedetomidine on the duration of hyperbaric ropivacaine in spinal anesthesia, and the …

Objective: To evaluate the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine on sensory regression,
hemodynamic profile, level of sedation and postoperative analgesia. Methodology: 60 …

Materials and Methods: One hundred American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical
status I/II patients undergoing elective surgeries under spinal anesthesia were randomized …

Purpose Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, has analgesic and
sedative effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of small, single-dose …
