In the present clinical study, we compare the effects of intravenous dexmedetomidine with midazolam on spinal block duration, sedation and post operative analgesia. Whereas Midazolam is only a sedative, Dexmedetomidine has both analgesic and sedative properties that may prolong the duration of sensory and motor block obtained with spinal anaesthesia. 60 ASA grade I & II patients scheduled for lower limb and lower abdominal surgeries in Govt. Medical college/Rajindra hospital, Patiala will be randomly allocated to three groups of 20 each. Immediately after 3ml of 0.5% ropivacaine given intrathecally,

Group D (n=20):        will be administered i/v dexmedetomidine (a loading dose of 1 µg/kg over 10 min and a maintenance dose of 0.5 µg/kg/hr in form of infusion)

Group M (n=20):       will be given midazolam (loading dose of 0.05 mg/kg followed by infusion@0.02 mg/kg/hour), and ,

Group C (n=20):           will receive the normal saline.

Intraoperative haemodynamic changes, onset, level & duration of sensory block, onset and duration of motor block, level of sedation, postoperative analgesia & side effects, if any will be recorded. All findings and information, including the time for the first request for postoperative analgesia and the number of patients requiring supplemental analgesia will be recorded. All results will be analysed statistically.
