Comparing Efficacy of Perineural Dexmedetomidine with Intravenous Dexmedetomidine as Adjuvant to Levobupivacaine in Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block.
Abstract
Prolonging postoperative analgesia using various adjuvants has become a trend in regional anesthesia practice. There are literally no studies where different routes of dexmedetomidine have been compared in supraclavicular block. We compared perineural dexmedetomidine and intravenous (i.v.) dexmedetomidine when used as an adjuvant with levobupivacaine using a nerve stimulator-guided supraclavicular block.
