Abstract
Aim of the study is to compare the onset, duration and intensity of analgesia between the two groups Ropivacaine+Dexmedetomidine and Ropivacaine+clonidine administered by epidural route. Sixty ASA 1 and 2 physical status patients in the age group 15‐60 yrs, posted for elective lower abdominal and lower limb orthopedic surgeries were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups namely Group RD and Group RC. Group RD (n=30) received 0.75% Ropivacaine15 ml + Dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg. Group RC (n=30) received0.75% Ropivacaine15 ml+Clonidine 1.5 μg/kg. Ropivacaine 0.75% with Dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg and Ropivacaine 0.75% with Clonidine 1.5μg/kg has same time to reach peak sensory block of T10 level. Ropivacaine 0.75% with Dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg and Ropivacaine 0.75% with Clonidine 1.5μg/kg has same peak sensory block. Ropivacaine 0.75% with Dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg and Ropivacaine 0.75% with Clonidine 1.5μg/kg has same time to reach peak sensory level. Ropivacaine 0.75% with Dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg and Ropivacaine 0.75% with Clonidine has same time to reach complete motor block.
