Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to study the effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine on haemodynamic parameters. Patients were shifted to operating room. Intravenous lines were secured and preloading was done using Ringer lactate solution, 15
ml/kg. Inj. Ondansetron 4 mg and Inj. Ranitidine 50 mg was given to all patients intravenously. Results: Mean duration of sensory and motor block was quite prolonged in group A patients. The results were statistically highly significant (P<0.001) Conclusion: The patients of both groups were demographically comparable. After obtaining written informed consent, premedication and preloading with intravenous ringer lactate, patients were induced using 23 or 25 G quincke type spinal needle in sitting position under full aseptic precautions. All patients were monitored in the same way throughout surgery and postoperatively. Onset and duration of sensory and motor block, haemodynamic parameters and sedation level was recorded at regular intervals.
