Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of adding dexmedetomidine to levobupivacaine for pain relief after knee arthroscopy, showing improved analgesic outcomes.
  • Patients were divided into three groups: a control group receiving saline, a group receiving levobupivacaine, and a group receiving both levobupivacaine and dexmedetomidine.
  • Results indicate that the combination group experienced lower pain scores, increased time before needing additional pain relief, and reduced overall need for postoperative analgesics compared to the other groups.
