Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  3 different doses (2.5microgram, 5 microgram, 10 microgram) will be compared amongst themselves. No control group  Thirty patients per group were randomly allocated using sealed envelope technique into three groups namely Group A (Intrathecal (IT) bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 ml) + Dexmedetomidine 2.5 mcg), Group B ( IT bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 ml) + Dexmedetomidine 5 mcg and Group C ( IT bupivacaine 10 ug (2.5 ml) + Dexmedetomidine 10 mcg). 
Intervention  Intrathecal dexmedetomidine three different doses with hyperbaric Bupivacaine  Thirty patients per group were randomly allocated using sealed envelope technique into three groups namely Group A (Intrathecal (IT) bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 ml) + Dexmedetomidine 2.5 mcg), Group B ( IT bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 ml) + Dexmedetomidine 5 mcg and Group C ( IT bupivacaine 10 ug (2.5 ml) + Dexmedetomidine 10 mcg). 
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  60.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  Ninety patients belonging to ASA physical status I/II, aged 18-60 years of either sex, undergoing elective lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries under planned Subarachnoid Block (SAB).  
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Exclusion criteria included patient refusal, contraindication to SAB, hypersensitivity to the drugs being evaluated, Body Mass Index (BMI) more than 40 kg/m2, pregnancy, significant comorbid conditions like uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction in the past 6 months, heart block, fixed cardiac output lesions. Cases that needed intraoperative conversion to general anesthesia were also excluded. 
 
Method of Generating Random Sequence   Computer generated randomization 
Method of Concealment   Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes 
Blinding/Masking   Participant and Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary objective was to ascertain a safe IT dexmedetomidine dose for patients undergoing elective lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries and to analyze sensory and motor characteristics with drug combinations being evaluated by comparing duration of the spinal sensory blockade, onset of the sensory and motor blockade  Onset of sensory blockade shall be defined as the time taken from the drug injection to the time to reach T10 level and the offset of sensory block shall be presumed when pin prick sensation at S1 dermatome has returned. Duration of sensory block will be defined as the time interval elapsed between onset of sensory block at T10 to regression of sensory block to S1. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Secondary outcome measures included level of sedation, comparison of hemodynamic variables and complications, if any.   HR, NIBP(systolic , diastolic and mean NIBP) ,SpO2 will be monitored continuously during the course of surgery and data will be recorded at 5 minutes interval for first 20 minutes then at 15 minutes interval till end of first hour, then at 30 minutes interval for next one hour, hourly for further 2 hours, followed by 4 hourly till completion of 24 hrs

Brief Summary  

BACKGROUND: Dexmedetomidine is increasingly being used in regional anesthesia as an adjuvant but there is no consensus on the optimum dose when used intrathecally. The study will be conducted to elucidate the dose-response relation between 3 different doses (2.5, 5, and 10 mcg) of Intrathecal dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to hyperbaric 0.5% bupivacaine in patients undergoing elective lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries.

METHODS: 90 Patients (18-60 years) will be randomized into 3 groups of 30 patients each to receive Intrathecal bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 ml) with 2.5 mcg (group A), 5ug (group B), 10ug (group C) dexmedetomidine, respectively. Duration of the spinal sensory blockade (primary outcome), the onset of the blockade, time to rescue analgesia, level of sedation, duration of motor blockade, comparison of hemodynamic variables, and complications, if any, will be assessed.
