The effect of adding clonidine to local anesthetics for nerve or plexus blocks remains
unclear. The authors searched for randomized placebo-controlled trials testing the impact of …

Brachial plexus blockade is the cornerstone of the peripheral nerve regional anesthesia
practice of most anesthesiologists. As part of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia …

Although beneficial in acute and chronic pain management, the use of local anaesthetics is
limited by its duration of action and the dose dependent adverse effects on the cardiac and …

Background The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that high-dose
dexmedetomidine added to local anesthetic would increase the duration of sensory and …

IMPLICATIONS: In evaluating the effect of dexamethasone added to lidocaine on the onset
and duration of axillary brachial plexus block, we found that the addition of dexamethasone …

Background and Objectives: Although clonidine has been shown to prolong analgesia in
central neuraxial blocks, its use in peripheral nerve blocks remains controversial. We …

Opioids and alpha-2 receptor agonists are important as neuraxial adjuvants to improve the
quality of peroperative and postoperative analgesia in high-risk patients and in ambulatory …

Background: Local anaesthetics alone for Supraclavicular brachial plexus block provide
good operative conditions but have shorter duration of postoperative analgesia. Perineural …

OBJECTIVE: We performed a randomized, controlled trial comparing low-dose ultrasound-
guided axillary block with general anesthesia evaluating anesthetic and perioperative …

Background: The role of clonidine as an adjuvant to local anesthetic agents in brachial
plexus block (BPB) has been extensively studied. However, till date there has been no …
