Brief Summary   This randomized double- blind study was conducted to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of clonidine when administered intravenously or in wound infiltration with bupivacaine. 60 adult patients of ASA grade I-II undergoing elective open cholecystectomy were randomly allocated into three groups. Group 1 (control group) patients received wound infiltration with 30 ml 0.25% bupivacaine at the end of surgery. Group 2 patients received 3 mcg/kg clonidine IV plus wound infiltration with bupivacaine, while group 3 patients received 3 mcg/kg clonidine in would infiltration with bupivacaine. Postoperative analgesia was provided with intravenous diclofenac 8 hourly and morphine on demand. The postoperative pain, number of patients requiring rescue analgesia and total morphine consumption during 24 postoperative hours was recorded. Patients were observed for any adverse effects like excessive sedation, nausea-vomiting, hypotension and bradycardia.
