Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Ropivacaine alone  Group receives only ropivacaine without any additives,using infraclavicular brachial plexus block technique with similar volume and concentration of ropivacaine as the interventional group, ensuring comparibility and documenting rescue analgesia requirement for 24hours 
Intervention  Ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine  The group receives combination of drug based on mg/kg body weight via infraclavicular brachial plexus block, targeting the nerves of forearm for postoperative analgesia which will be monitored for 24hour after surgery

Brief Summary   Summary:

This prospective, comparative study evaluates the efficacy of ropivacaine with and without dexmedetomidine for infraclavivular brachial plexus block in forearm surgeries, focusing on post-operative analgesia

Methodology:The patients are randomised into two groups (Group A and Group B) of 20 patients each using computer generated random number method. Group A patients will receive Plain 0.75% Ropivacaine and Group B patients will receive 0.75% Ropivacaine with 1μg/kg Dexmedetomidine

The following parameters will be recorded post-operatively at fixed time intervals:
-vas score
-Ramsay sedation score
-time for rescue analgesia
