Cesarean Sections Under Spinal Anaesthesia: Comparison of Varying Doses of Dexmedetomidine Combined with 0.75% Hyperbaric Ropivacaine: A Double-Blind Randomized Trial.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 5 μg, 7.5 μg, and 10 μg doses of dexmedetomidine added to hyperbaric 0.75% ropivacaine on the duration of analgesia during cesarean section.

Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block: Comparison of Varying Doses of Nalbuphine Combined with Levobupivacaine: A Prospective, Double-blind, Randomized Trial.

Background And Aims: The ideal dose of nalbuphine for brachial plexus block (BPB) is a matter of debate. This study was carried out to evaluate 5 mg or 10 mg of nalbuphine added to 0.375% levobupivacaine, with regard to the duration of analgesia.

Postoperative Analgesia with Epidural Dexmedetomidine Compared with Clonidine following Total Abdominal Hysterectomies: A Prospective Double-blind Randomized Trial.

Background And Aims: Anesthesia for total abdominal hysterectomies is not only concerned with relieving pain during intraoperative period but also during the postoperative period. We compared clonidine and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine for epidural analgesia with respect to onset and duration of sensory block, duration of analgesia, and adverse effects.

Materials And Methods: A total of 80 individuals between the age of 45 and 65 years of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Classes I and II who underwent total abdominal hysterectomies were randomly allocated into two groups, comprising 40 patients in each group.

Supraclavicular brachial plexus block: Comparison of varying doses of dexmedetomidine combined with levobupivacaine: A double-blind randomised trial.

Background And Aims: The ideal dose of dexmedetomidine for brachial plexus block is a matter of debate. This study was carried out to evaluate 50 μg or 100 μg of dexmedetomidine added to 0.5% levobupivacaine, with regard to the duration of analgesia.

Monitored anaesthesia care - Comparison of nalbuphine/dexmedetomidine versus nalbuphine/propofol for middle ear surgeries: A double-blind randomised trial.

Background And Aims: Middle ear surgeries (MESs) are usually performed under sedation with local anaesthesia and can be well tolerated by the patient with minimal discomfort. In the present study, we compare the effect of nalbuphine/dexmedetomidine combination with nalbuphine/propofol on sedation and analgesia in monitored anaesthesia care.

Methods: One hundred adult patients undergoing MESs under monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) were randomly allocated into two groups.

Effectiveness of butorphanol as an adjuvant to lidocaine for haematoma or periosteal block: A prospective, randomised, double blind study.

Background: The peripheral nerve endings carrying pain contains opiod receptors. Blocking these receptors during haematoma block or periosteal block may provide better analgesia.

Aim: Evaluation of effectiveness and safety of butorphanol as an adjuvant to lidocaine for haematoma block.
