Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to compare Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine and Fentanyl as an adjuvants to Levobupivacaine 0.5% for Infra - Umbilical Surgeries. Clinical comparative study to evaluate the duration of analgesia, hemodynamic stability and adverse effects of using intrathecal dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as an adjuvant to 0.5% Levobupivacaine heavy for Infra umbilical surgery (general surgery and gynaecology patient). The study participants were randomly divided into three groups. Results: Onset of sensory block was earlier and duration of sensory block was maximum in group C. Motor block regress faster in group A. postoperative analgesia was more in group C and side effects was more in group B. Conclusion: Incidence of Bradycardia and hypotesion was higher in the dexmedetomidine group and itching and urinary retention was maximum in fentanyl group as compared to dexmedetomidine group. Levobupivacaine with dexmedetomidine has prolonged duration of sensory and motor blockade, good hemodynamic stability with decreased incidence of side effect as compared to the fentanyl group. And levobupivacaine alone group.
