Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Dexmedetomidine and Hyperbaric Levobupivacaine (sequentially)  After preanesthetic evaluation patients meeting inclusion criteria will be selected . operation theatre with all necessary equipments and drugs to be kept ready spinal anaesthesia will be given in l3- L4 intervertebral space. patients will be randomly devided into two groups . In this group Group S - Inj Levobupivacaine 0.5% (12.5mg) 2.5 ml (in 5cc syringe) followed by Inj Dexmedetomidine (10mcg) 0.5ml (Diluted in Normal saline in 2cc syringe). (Two syringe technique – drugs will be loaded in two separate syringes) given in spinal anaesthesia . patient will be turned supine and then intraioperative vital monitoring , spinal and motor blockade , duration analgesia ,requirement of rescue analgesia will be assessed for 24 hours 
Intervention  Dexmedetomidine with hyperbaric Levobupivacaine (Premixed)  After preanesthetic evaluation patients meeting inclusion criteria will be selected . operation theatre with all necessary equipments and drugs to be kept ready spinal anaesthesia will be given in l3- L4 intervertebral space. patients will be randomly divided into two groups . In this group Group M - Inj Levobupivacaine 0.5% (12.5mg) 2.5ml + Inj Dexmedetomidine (10mcg) 0.5 ml (Diluted in Normal saline). (premix). Total drug prepared will be 3ml in a single 5cc syringe, given in spinal anaesthesia . patient will be turned supine and then intraioperative vital monitoring , spinal and motor blockade , duration analgesia ,requirement of rescue analgesia will be assessed for 24 hours

Brief Summary  

The aim behind performing this study is to see differences in sensory and motor block characteristics along with determining effects on haemodynamics while intrathecal administration of premix hyperbaric Levobupivacaine and Dexmedetomidine in single syringe or in two separate syringes.

58 patients for lower limb surgeries will be randomly decided into two groups , In each group there will be 29 patients who are posted for elective lower limb surgeries.

In one group Group M -  - Inj Levobupivacaine 0.5% (12.5mg) 2.5ml + Inj Dexmedetomidine (10mcg) 0.5 ml (Diluted in Normal saline).  (premix). Total drug prepared will be 3ml in a single 5cc syringe. In second group Group S - Inj Levobupivacaine 0.5% (12.5mg) 2.5 ml (in 5cc syringe) followed by Inj Dexmedetomidine (10mcg) 0.5ml (Diluted in Normal saline in 2cc syringe). (Two syringe technique – drugs will be loaded in two separate syringes).

Comparing Sensory and Motor block characteristics as primary outcome

As a secondary outcome  , hemodynamic parameters ,duration of effective analgesia , requirement of rescue analgesia in 24 hours ,any complications will be assessed .

The proposed advantage of the study will be that Dexmedetomidine and Levobupivacaine given sequentially results in faster onset of sensory and motor block, prolongs the duration and reduces the postoperative analgesic requirement as compared to premixed drugs .
