Popis: BACKGROUND Brachial plexus blockade is considered as cornerstone of regional anaesthesia practice. Ropivacaine is a new amide, long acting, pure S (-) enantiomer and local anaesthetic. This study was done to compare clonidine and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to 0.75% ropivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective randomised double-blind study was done in 80 patients of American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) grade I and II undergoing elective upper limb surgeries under supraclavicular block. Patients were randomised into 2 groups. Group 1 (n=40) received 30 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine with clonidine 1 mcg/kg and group 2 (n=40) received 30 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg. Onset and recovery time of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia and quality of block, haemodynamic variables and level of sedation were studied in two groups. RESULTS Sensory and motor block onset times were shorter in group 2 (onset of sensory block was 4.9 ± 1.08 minutes and onset of motor block was 8.9 ± 1.41 minutes) than in group 1 (onset of sensory block was 10.7 ± 4.05 minutes and onset of motor block took 12.1 ± 4.11 minutes) (p value
