A Comparative Study of Analgesic Efficacy of Epidural Ropivacaine With Dexmedetomidine Versus Ropivacaine With Ketamine in Adult Patients Undergoing Elective Lower Limb Surgery.
Abstract
Adjuvating of the epidural block with local anaesthetics during lower limb surgeries improves Intraoperative as well as postoperative analgesia. A comparison of epidural ropivacaine plus dexmedetomidine (RD) versus ropivacaine plus ketamine (RK) was done in terms of quality of the motor and sensory blockade, changes in hemodynamic parameters, and efficacy of analgesia.
