A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED CONTROL STUDY COMPARING POST-OPERATIVE ANALGESIA AFTER WOUND INFILTRATION WITH ROPIVACAINE ALONE AND ROPIVACAINE WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE IN SPINE FIXATION SURGERIES WITH PROSTHESIS

Objective: To compare postoperative analgesia after wound infiltration with ropivacaine alone and dexmedetomidine in spine fixation surgeries prosthesis. This is aprospective randomized double-blind clinical trial.
 Methods: A total of 60 patients were recruited this study based on inclusion exclusion criteria. Written informed consent was obtained from every patient. Patients by computer-generated randomization into two groups. Group R received an injection 0.5% a dose 2 mg/kg for infiltration, while those group RD 0.5mcg/Kg along at the end surgery. observed till 24 h postoperatively. VAS score, duration analgesia, rescue analgesic consumption, any side effects noted specified time intervals.
 Results: score found to be lower interval postoperatively, p value = 0.004. Time first demand 281.43±11.1 min it 912.57±52.61 RD. difference statistically significant (p 0.01). In R, 200±39.39 mg tramadol consumed as analgesic, 136.67±28.42 post-operatively. Tramadol consumption significantly low =0.007). No effect either groups.
 Conclusion: Based our study, we conclude that adjuvant local improves profile, increase reduces opioid requirement undergoing
