Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of addition of 1µg/kg dexmedetomidine to 20ml bupivacaine compared to 20ml and 30ml bupivacaine without additives in ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block for anesthesia.


Clinical Trial Description

Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective α2 adrenergic agonist, has been used as an adjuvant to local anesthetics. Various clinical trials performed have shown dexmedetomidine to be safe when used as an adjuvant to local anesthetic in subarachnoid, caudal, and epidural Different doses of dexmedetomidine are commonly used as an additive in Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block, 1 μg/kg and 2 μg/kg in which a high dose of dexmedetomidine does not prolong the duration of analgesia, but it is associated with lower heart rate and blood pressure. Incidence of hypotension and bradycardia is also more. Hence, a lower dose of 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine is a good balance between safety and efficacy ;
