Abstract:
Background: Spinal anesthesia is a routinely performed technique used for lower abdominal surgeries. It provides good sensory and motor blockade with single local anesthetic drug. The duration of intrathecal anesthesia with a single bolus dose of local anesthesia is limited ². Hence various adjuncts like opioids, alpha-2 agonists, ketamine, have been used to prolong the spinal anesthesia, with the possible advantages of delayed onset of postoperative pain and reduced analgesic requirements. Objectives: To determine whether intravenous pethidine or intravenous dexmedetomidine provides intraoperative hemodynamic stability, sedation and good postoperative analgesia. Methodology : The present prospective randomized control study was done by the department of Anesthesia at K C General Hospital Bengaluru from August 2018 to May 2019. A total of 100 subjects who belonged to ASA status 1 and 2 of age 18yrs to 60yrs who were scheduled to undergo lower extremity surgeries were included in the study .After obtaining the written consent, hundred patients were randomly allocated into one of the following two groups consisting of 50 patients each by using sealed envelope method. Group D: 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine 15mg + Inj. Dexmedetomidine50mcg over 10 min, n=50. Group P: 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine 15mg + Inj. Pethidine 50 mg IV, n=50
