    Abstract

    Background: Spinal Anaesthesia is a commonly used technique in many surgeries as it provides sufficient surgical Anaesthesia but if only local anaesthetic is used, it has a shorter duration of action and is inadequate for visceral analgesia. Different additives have been used to increase duration and quality of anaesthesia like clonidine, fentanyl etc. Injection Dexmedetomidine is selective alpha- 2 adrenergic agonist and can be used as an additive in subarachnoid block. The study aims to assess the effect of dexmedetomidine when added to local anesthetic in subarachnoid block / spinal anaesthesia.
