Comparative study of analgesic effects of ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine with that of ropivacaine and fentanyl for lower abdominal and lower limb orthopaedic surgeries
Abstract:Introduction: The anesthetic choices for lengthy lower limbs orthopedic procedures may comprise general anesthesia and limited types of regional techniques such as epidural, continuous spinal, or combined nerve blocks. Ropivacaine is a long-acting amide local anesthetic with a potentially improved safety profile when compared to bupivacaine. Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl are two such adjuvant drugs that have been used in combination with bupivacaine or ropivacaine to enhance the analgesic efficacy of the drugs … Show more
