Comparison of Clonidine versus Esmolol in Controlled Hypotension in Patients Undergoing FESS Surgery Open
Background: FESS has its share of complications which can be a challenge for both the surgeon as well the anesthetist and achieving a bloodless surgical field is essential So the principle of controlled hypotension can be used to combat th…

BUPRENORPHINE VERSUS MAGNESIUM SULPHATE: ADJUVANTS TO INTRATHECAL HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE FOR LOWER ABDOMINAL SURGERIES Open
Aims: An adjuvant to a local anaesthetic can potentiate spinal anesthesia and provide better postoperative analgesia. Our study has been drafted to evaluate and compare the analgesic potency of the adjuvants, buprenorphine and magnesium, t…

Comparison of hypotensive properties of dexmedetomidine versus clonidine for induced hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery Open
Background and Aims: Excessive bleeding is a major concern in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) under general anaesthesia; this can be decreased by various hypotensive agents. This study was conducted to compare the hypotensive ef…

COMPARISON OF INTRATHECAL BUPRENORPHINE VERSUS CLONIDINE AS AN ADJUVANT TO 0.5% HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE IN LOWER ABDOMINAL SURGERIES Open
Introduction: Various adjuvants have been added to bupivacaine to shorten the onset of block and prolong the duration of block. Present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of intrathecal clonidine or buprenorphine with bupivacaine…

Effect of intravenous versus intrathecal dexmedetomidine on the characteristic of spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing infra umbilical surgeries Open
Background: Dexmedetomidine have been used as an adjuvant to local anaesthetic in subarachnoid block and as intravenous medication for postoperative pain relief and sedation. In higher doses, it may produce adverse effect on haemodynamic. …

Dexmedetomidine versus magnesium sulfate for induced hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery: A randomized, double-blind study Open
Background: Bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) can compromise surgical field quality. Intraoperative controlled hypotension by various hypotensive agents can reduce blood loss and improves surgical field visibility …

Comparative study of morphine or dexmedetomidine as intrathecal adjuvants to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in infraumbilical surgeries Open
Background: Morphine and Dexmedetomidine have been used with subarachnoid block for postoperative pain relief, sedation and analgesia. In higher doses, it may produce adverse effect on haemodynamics. Aim and Objective: This study compares …

Low-dose intravenous alpha-2 agonists as adjuvants to spinal levobupivacaine: A randomized study Open
Background: Alpha-2 agonists have been used with spinal anesthesia for anxiolysis, analgesia, and hypnosis and for postoperative pain relief. These beneficial effects may, however, be offset by their propensity to prolong the duration of m…
View article: Comparison of intrathecal clonidine and magnesium sulphate used as an adjuvant with hyperbaric bupivacaine in lower abdominal surgery
Comparison of intrathecal clonidine and magnesium sulphate used as an adjuvant with hyperbaric bupivacaine in lower abdominal surgery Open
Intrathecal clonidine added to bupivacaine prolongs the duration of post-operative analgesia, and hastens the onset and prolongs the duration of sensory and motor block compared to magnesium or controls.
