Article Synopsis
- Brachial plexus block is a common anesthesia method for surgeries below the shoulder, and using adjuvants like dexamethasone can improve pain relief after the procedure.
- The study compared the analgesic effects of perineural dexamethasone versus systemic dexamethasone following a supraclavicular block in 60 patients.
- Results showed that the group receiving perineural dexamethasone experienced significantly longer pain relief and a longer time before needing additional pain medication compared to the systemic dexamethasone group.
Background: Dexmedetomidine a new drug, which is alpha-two agonist, is recommended by manufacturers as an adjuvant in epidural analgesia and anesthesia.
Aims: To study the effects of dexmedetomidine on quality and efficacy of the epidural bupivacaine 0.5% for vaginal hysterectomies, by studying the onset of action, duration of action, highest dermatomal level achieved, degree of motor blockade, intraoperative and postoperative anesthesia and analgesia achieved.
Background: Epidural infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine is recommended by the manufacturers for labor analgesia.
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, degree of motor blockade, obstetric outcome in the form of incidence of normal vaginal, assisted vaginal and lower segment cesarean section.
