Brief Summary  

Dexmedetomidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist recently introduced in indian market.

It has been used for premedication, as an adjuvant to general anaesthesia and for sedation in the intensive care unit. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomedine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in subarachanoid block.

Study will be carried out in 100 ASA physical status 1 and 2 aged 30 to 60 years  going to undergo elective lower abdominal surgery. Patient will be randomly allocated in 2 groups each of 50 by distributing sealed envelopes.1st group will be given bupivacaine and 2nd group will be given bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine in subarachnoid space. Patients will be assessed for onset, peak, duration and regression of sensory and motor block produced by boath groups. Sedation, analgesia, haemodynemic variables and complications will be recorded intraoperatively. Patients will be observed  for 24 hours in post operative period. Data will be expressed as mean and standard deviation or numbers and percentages as applicable. Comparison between two groups will be done using unpaired t test for quantitative data and chi sqaure test for qualitative data. p value <0.05 is considered significant.
