Efficacy of Intrathecal Bupivacaine with Dexmedetomidine and Bupivacaine Alone in Lower Segment Caesarian Section Patients

Objective: This research aims to compare the effectiveness of intrathecal bupivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine alone in patients having caesarian procedures. Methods: randomized, controlled study was conducted at operation theatre Liaquat national hospital, agreement hospital's institutional review board. There were 272 total, and they split evenly two groups 136 using non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Group A: Patients received subarachnoid block (2 ml 0.5 % hyperbaric 10 micrograms normal saline). B: L3-L4 or L4-L5 inter-vertebral space). Before induction anaesthesia, patient's systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic mean arterial (MAP), heart rate (HR), peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SPO2) will be monitored Results: The age participants both 27.14±5.3 25.9±3.65 years. A significant difference as observed 15-, 45- 60-minutes interval (p=0.000). time from blocks shivering occurrence 57.08±3.8 81.03±2.8minutes. (P=0.000) observed. 49% experienced while 24% group B. Conclusion: From our findings, we infer that adding 10µg strong SA may reduce frequency severity without causing any serious side effects.
