supraclavicular brachial plexus blockade for forearm surgery, by low doses bupivacaine
providing prolonged analgesia after surgery.
Clinical Details
Official title: Effect of the Addition of Dexmedetomidine to Bupivacaine During Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Blockade for Forearm Surgery.
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: the duration of sensorial block
Secondary outcome: the first time analgesic required
Detailed description:
Anaesthesia for surgeries to the upper extremity commonly is provided using brachial plexus
anaesthesia. Various local anaesthetic mixtures can be used to prolong local anaesthesia
duration and epinephrine , opioids and dexmedetomidine are frequently used for this purpose.
this study was conducted to compare the effects of adding dexmedetomidine to local
anaesthetics in the supraclavicular brachial plexus block by using nerve stimulators and
ultrasonography guided. dexmedetomidine has also been found the prolong the duration of
bupivacaine infraclavicular brachial plexus block.
