Abstract
Ropivacaine is less lipophilic than bupivacaine and is less likely to penetrate large myelinated motor fibres; therefore, it has selective action on the pain‐transmitting A ß and C nerves rather than Aß fibres, which are involved in motor function. Dexmedetomidine is a new generation highly selective a2‐adrenergic receptor (a2‐AR) agonist that is associated with sedative and analgesic sparing effects, reduced delirium and agitation, perioperative sympatholysis, cardiovascular stabilizing effects and preservation of respiratory function. The study population were randomly divided into 2 groups with 30 subjects in each group using shuffled opaque sealed envelopes containing the name of the group and patient was asked to choose an envelope. There was no statistically significant difference between in SBP between two groups at baseline, intraoperatively and postoperatively. There was statistically significant lower postoperative VAS score in group RD at 6th hour, 10th hour, 12th hour, 14th hour compared to group RN.
