COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ISOBARIC ROPIVACAINE 0.5% WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE AND 0.5% ROPIVACAINE ALONE IN SPINAL ANAESTHESIA IN LOWER LIMB AND PERINEAL SURGERIES

Introduction-Spinal anesthesia, a kind of local anesthesia, where the conduction square of the nerve roots is cultivated by infusing a limited quantity of nearby sedative arrangement into the subarachnoid liquid through a lumbar puncture. The adaptability of spinal sedation is managed by a wide scope of nearby sedatives and added substances that permit power over the level, the hour of onset and the span of spinal sedation. Purpose-The purpose of this analysis is to compare the effectiveness of ropivacaine 0.5 per cent with dexmedetomidine 5 mcg and ropivacaine 0.5 per cent alone in spinal anaesthesia. Method-This study was conducted to compare the effects of isobaric ropivacaine 0.5% with and without dexmedetomidine 5 mcg in spinal anaesthesia in lower limb. Conclusion-Study conclude that Dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to 0.5% Ropivacaine is superior to 0.5% Ropivacaine alone in spinal anaesthesia.
