A Comparative Study on The Safety and Efficacy Of Intrathecal 0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine Alone Versus Bupivacaine Along With Adjuvant Dexmedetomidine In Parturient Undergoing Cesarean Section – A Prospective Observational Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
ABSTRACT: AIM: The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine administered alone versus when given along with adjuvant dexmedetomidine in parturients undergoing LSCS.
METHOD: A hundred parturients of ASA grade II & III undergoing LSCS under spinal anaesthesia were randomly assigned into two groups of 50 each. group B received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (2ml) and group BD received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (1.9ml) with 10 mcg of dexmedetomidine (0.1ml). The onset and duration of sensory & motor block, intraoperative hemodynamic changes, and duration of analgesia
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study indicate that 10 mcg dexmedetomidine is more beneficial when used in conjunction with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine compared to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine used alone in parturients undergoing C-section under spinal anesthesia.
