Comparison of intrathecal dexmedetomidine and intrathecal fentanyl as an adjuvant with hyperbaric bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia in lower limb surgeries: A prospective randomized clinical trial
Abstract:Background and Aim: Subarachnoid block is the most common technique employed for lower limb surgeries. When used as an adjuvant to intrathecal local anaesthetic, both fentanyl and dexmedetomidine have the ability increase perioperative analgesia. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the effective profile of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as an adjuvant to intrathecal bupivacaine in lower limb surgeries. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 90 patients undergoing elective lower limb surgeries under … Show more
