Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Dexmedetomidine   Comparison of Intrathecal dose of 5 microgram of Dexmedetomidine versus Intravenous route dose of 0.5 microgram per kg of Dexmedetomidine given as an adjuvant for Spinal Anesthesia(sub arachnoid block) with Bupivacaine  
Intervention  Spinal Anesthesia  Primary anaesthetic technique for all patients will be Sub- arachnoid block with 3ml volume of drug which includes 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine ,as the common local anesthetic, with the comparator agent being given either intrathecally Or intravenously. The duration of sensory and motor blockade will be checked at 0,3,6,9,15,30,60 minutes and then at 2nd,4th,6th,8th,12th and 24th hour after spinal anesthesia.

Brief Summary   This study will be conducted in Vydehi Indtuitute of medical sciences and Research Center recruiting patients posted for lower limb orthopedic surgeries. All patients will be receiving spinal anesthesia with Dexmedetomidine either as an adjuvant to spinal as 5 mcg intrathecally Or as an IV supplement at 0.5microgram per kg in 100 ml normal saline 15 minutes before spinal anesthesia. 
The effect of this drug on the intervention will be measured in terms of onset and duration of motor and sensory blockade that the spinal anesthesia provides for these surgeries
The study will be conducted on 90 patients over a period of a year. 
The results will he directed in the comparison of the two routes of administration of Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to spinal anesthesia in lower limb orthopedic surgeries. 
The study shall also have secondary objectives of noting shivering sedation and any adverse effects due to the intervention.
