Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: To Compare the Effictiveness of Clonidine in 0.5% Bupivacaine with Dexamethasone in 0. 5% Bupivacaine in Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in terms of onset of sensory and motor blockade 2. Duration of sensory and motor blockade. Materials &Methods:The study was carried out as a Prospective, randomized clinical trail among 60 patients who underwent different surgical procedures under supraclavicular brachial plexus block They were randomized in to two group. Group A - Clonidine in 0.5% Bupivacaine and Group B - Dexamethasone in 0. 5% Bupivacaine. Both were compared with regard to onset of sensory and motor blockade andduration of sensory and motor blockade.Results :No statistically significant difference was reported between the two groups in demographic variables. The mean time required for onset of sensory block in Group A is 9.20minutes and in Group –B is 8.57,P-value 0.55 min with no statistical significance , onset of motor block Group A is 12.20 minutes and in Group –B is 11.57 min P-value 0.55 with no statistical significance. The average duration of sensory block in Group A is 781.33 min, and in Group B with 812.33 minP-value0.44 with no statistical significance. The average duration of Motor block in Group a is 792.33 min, and in Group B with 825.67 min P-value0.41 with no statistical significance. Conclusion : In this study the difference in the meandurationof the onset of sensory and motor blockade between the twogroupswas statistically not significant . The difference in the mean duration of the sensory and motor blockade also was statistically not significant.
