This trial-based paper strives to address the comparative efficacy of some ropivacaine adjuvant options, comprising dexmedetomidine, granisetron, and nitroglycerin, on pain and hemodynamic changes in intravenous anesthesia for forearm surgeries. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled four block-randomized eligible groups with patients (overall, n=128) undergoing orthopedic forearm surgeries in the dexmedetomidine, nitroglycerin, granisetron, and placebo groups. Intra- and post-operative vital signs (mean arterial pressure/heart rate/ oxygen saturation) were monitored at baseline and captured every 10 minutes until the end of the surgery, as well as the onset of sensory and motor block and length and duration of the block and mean opioid use within 24 hours.
