We conducted this study to elucidate the dose-response relation between three different doses of intrathecal dexmedetomidine (2.5, 5, or 10 µg) as an adjuvant to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing elective lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries. Methodology: 90 patients, aged 18-60 y, were randomized into three groups of 30 patients each. Group A received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg (2.5 ml) with 2.5 µg dexmedetomidine, Group B received 5 µg dexmedetomidine with bupivacaine, and Group C received 10 µg dexmedetomidine with bupivacaine. Duration of the spinal sensory blockade (primary outcome), onset of the blockade, time to rescue analgesia, level of sedation, duration of motor blockade, comparison of hemodynamic variables and complications, if any were assessed. Results: There was a ...

Induction is a very crucial time as at this time the patient is liable to undergo sudden unexpected haemodynamic changes due to the exaggerated physiological effects of the induction agents. Anaesthetist all the time needs to choose an agent with least adverse effects for the safety of the patient. Aim and Objective: In this study, our objective was to observe the effects of propofol and etomidate on the haemodynamics during induction of general anaesthesia. Materials and Method: The study included 60 ASA Grade I and II patients aged between 18 and 60 years who were given general anaesthesia for elective surgery. The patients were allocated to two groups randomly with 30 patients in each group. Patients induced with propofol 2mg/kg were assigned to Group P and those induced with etomidate 0.3 mg/kg were assigned to Group E. The groups were compared for the changes in...
