Brief Summary   Spinal anaesthesia is most widely used technique for lower limb surgeries. Ropivacaine is a long acting amide local anaesthesia. It is less cardiotoxic and has greater motor sensory differentiation. Intrathecal adjuvants prolong the duration and quality of block. Dexmedetomidine is alpha agonist, with high specificity for alpha 2 receptors. It has centrally mediated sedative, analgesic, opioid sparing, sympatholytic properties. It prolongs the sensory and motor block when added to spinal anaesthesia. Fentanyl is potent synthetic opiate agonist. It enhances the analgesic potency of ropivacaine for spinal anaesthesia. This study is undertaken to compare the safety,quality, efficacy of intrathecal demedetomidine 10mcg and 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine combination, as compared to fentanyl 25 mcg and 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine for orthopaedic lower limb surgeries.
