EFFECT OF INTRATHECAL ROPIVACAINE WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE FOR OPERATIVE AND POST OPERATIVE ANALGESIA: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED STUDY

Comparison of Ropivacaine Alone versus Ropivacaine with Dexamethasone in Caudal Block for Pediatric Post-operative Analgesia

Background: Caudal block is a regional anesthesia technique most commonly used for post-operative analgesia in children undergoing infraumbilical surgeries. The local anesthetics used in caudal block have the shortcoming of less duration of action which can be increased by adding adjuncts.

Quality of post-operative analgesia after epidural dexmedetomidine and ketamine: A comparative pilot study

Hip fractures are intensely painful, so post‐operative analgesia is an integral part of patient care for early rehabilitation and mobility.[1] Local anaesthetics with epidural additives ideally should provide stable haemodynamics and prolonged analgesia. There is limited literature comparing dexmedetomidine and ketamine as epidural additives. We conducted a study of continuous epidural infusion...
