Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dexmedetomidine and Magnesium sulphate added as adjuvants with 0.75% Ropivacaine Supraclavicular brachial plexus block for upper limb surgeries.  This interventional study is designed to find out the better adjuvant for 0.75% Ropivacaine among Dexmedetomidine and Magnesium Sulphate to give supraclavicular brachial plexus block for upper limb surgeries.Here the comparator agents are magnesium sulphate and Dexmedetomidine.In the second group of 26 patients undergoing upper limb sugreies under supraclavicular block the block is given with 0.75% Ropivacaine 20 ml and Magnesium sulphate is added as adjuvant at a dose of 250 mg.The onset of sensory block is assessed every 1 minute by pin prick test.The onset of motor block is assessed by bromage scale.The duration of sensory block is defined as the return of sensation . The duration of motor block is defined as return of arm movement.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Supraclavicular brachial plexus block is considered to be one of the most effective anaesthetic procedures for upperlimb surgeries .In this study we intend to compare the onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade obtained from the administration of 0.75% Ropivacaine with Dexmedetomidine and Magnesium sulphate as adjuvants for this block.The study is conducted in a private medical college setting in Kerala.For this study patients  with distal upperlimb injuries , satisfying the inclusion  criteria are randomly selected to two groups of 26 each using sealed envelope method. Then group A will be given 0.75% Ropivacaine with Dexmedetomidine and group B will be given Ropivacaine with Magnesium Sulphate.The onset of sensory block is defined as Hollman scale of 4 using pinprick.The onset of motor block is defined as achievement of Modified Bromage scale of 3.Duration of sensory block is defined as the time of block to the requirement of rescue analgesia.The duration of motor block is defined as the time of block to the arm raising above the head.
