Brief Summary   TITLE OF THESIS:A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FENTANYL AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE AS AN ADJUANT TO BUPIVACAINE IN ULTRASOUND GUIDED SUPRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS BLOCK.
IINTRODUCTION: In general, regional nerve blockade avoids the unwanted effects of anaesthetic drugs used during general anaesthesia and is beneficial for the patients with various cardio-respiratory co-morbidities. Brachial plexus block is the most popular technique to deal with the upper limb surgeries.Various adjuants ,including opioids , midazolam, magnesium sulfate, dexamethasone, and neostigmine have been added to local anaesthetics in an attempt to increase the duration of block and post-operative analgesia.Various clinical trials have found that administration of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl with local anaesthetics in neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks prolonged the duration of sensory and motor blockade. However, there are limited data available on comparison of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as adjuant to local anaesthetics in brachial plexus block.
HYPOTHESIS:Dexmedetomidine is better than fentanyl in terms of duration of both motor and sensory blocks and postoperative analgesia.
