Effect of Midazolam and Dexmedetomidine Sedation on the Onset and Duration of Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block: A Randomised Comparative Study

Abstract: Intravenous dexmedetomidine in combination with 25 mL of bupivacaine (0.5%) accelerated the onset of sensory and motor block and prolonged the duration of sensory and motor block when used for brachial plexus block, without resulting in any adverse events.

“…h -1 . Midazolam is a benzodiazepine used for intraoperative sedation, having anxiolytic, amnesic and sedative properties, along with a low incidence of unpredictable outcomes and a vast margin of safety [8]. The axillary block was done in the supine position with the arm abducted to 90° and the hand lying on the bed next to the head.…”

“…Although the approach to brachial plexus, dose and combination of local anesthetic that is used is different our results are in parallel with this research. 19 Dexmedetomidine infusion during surgery reduces post-operative pain, opioid consumption, and the risk of opioid-related adverse events independent from anesthetic choice. 20 The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine prolongs the duration of nerve block involves local vasoconstriction; spinal, supraspinal, and direct action on the nerve; and systemic effects.…”

“…2Using additive drugs in local anesthetic can reduce the dosage of local anesthetic drugs for nerve block and reduce the probable side effects of these drugs, and increasing the benefits of adjuvant drugs can be used. e new drugs have been used in this field, including buprenorphine [9], dexamethasone [10], magnesium [11], and midazolam [12]. e use of these drugs to reduce onset block time, increasing the duration time of analgesia without incidence of unwanted systemic complications, motor block prolongation, and finally reducing the total dose of local anesthetics drugs, has been proposed and studied.…”

“…Some studies have been conducted on the use of local anesthetics with additive agents [3,[9][10][11][12]20]. However, a unit drug for adding local anesthetic to improve block quality is not recommended [3,20,21].…”
