Brief Summary   A comparative study where 60 patients were allocated in three groups. group A received 18 ml 0.75% ropivacaine with 1 mcg/kg dexmedetomidine, group B 18 ml ropivacaine 0.75% with 0.5 mcg/kg dexmedetomidine , group C (control) 18 ml 0.75% ropivacaine only in single site paravertebral block preoperatively in patients undergoing modifoed radical mastectomy for Ca breast. Then stansdard GA was given for proceeding with the surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative ,mean arterial pressure, heart rate, spo2 , side effects, complications and postoperative pain score and duration of analgesia in terms of time and amount of first rescue analgesic dose was compared among three groups. Three groups were comparable in terms of demography and baseline data. Intraoperatively the group receiving 1mcg/kg dexmedetomidine(group A) showed lower MAP and heart rate as compared to two other groups in most of the period , Whereas heart rate and SPO2 was mostly stable in other two groups(group B and C). Post operative pain score(VAS) along with duration of analgesia was better in both the groups receiving dexmedetomidine (group A and group B) as compared to the control group(group C) whereas these results were comparable between group A and B.
