Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  COMBINATIONOF 0.5% HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE  Onset of sensory block to level T10, maximum height of dermatome achieved, onset of motor blockade to Bromage scale 3, regression of sensory level to dermatome S1 and return of motor activity Bromage 0 levels, total duration of analgesia will be recorded. Sedation score will also be recorded every 10-min interval for the first 30 min and then every 15-min interval till the completion of surgery.  
Comparator Agent  EPINEPHRINE TO COMBINATION OF 0.5% HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE   Onset of sensory block to level T10, maximum height of dermatome achieved, onset of motor blockade to Bromage scale 3, regression of sensory level to dermatome S1 and return of motor activity to Bromage 0 level, total duration of analgesia will be recorded.Sedation score will also be recorded every 10-min interval for the first 30 min and then every 15-min interval till the completion of surgery.  
Intervention  INTRATHECAL ANAESTHESIA FOR LOWER LIMB SURGERIES  The drug solutions will be prepared and administered by an independent Anesthesiologist not involved in the study. Outcome parameters shall be recorded by the investigators. Intrathecal anaesthesia will be given by 25 G quincke needle at the L3-4 level in sitting position. Immediately after giving spinal anaesthesia the patient will be turned to supine position

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This study is designed to evaluate intrathecal anesthesia and postoperative analgesia of adding epinephrine to a combination of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine.

Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective α2 adrenergic agonist increases the duration of anesthesia & analgesia whereas Epinephrine, a vasoconstrictor, reduces the systemic toxicity by decreased absorption of local anesthetics into the bloodstream and extends the duration of anesthesia.


We are expecting that the decrease in heart rate and blood pressure with a combination of bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine is balanced by adrenaline as it increases the same resulting in prolonged anesthesia with better hemodynamic status.
