| Popis: | Background: Supraclavicular approach of brachial plexus block (BPB) has been in popular choice in recent years for surgical, diagnostic, and therapeutic management of injury and pathology related to upper limb. Aims and Objectives: In this study, we investigated the effect of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as an adjuvant to bupivacaine on quality of block and post-operative analgesia in perineural supraclavicular BPB. Materials and Methods: A prospective, randomized, and triple-blind study was done involving 70 patients of age 18–60 years, randomly allocated into two equal groups [group BD- bupivacaine (0.5%) 29 ml with 100 μg (1 ml) of dexmedetomidine and group BF - bupivacaine (0.5%) 29 ml with 50 μg (1 ml) of fentanyl]. The scores of modified Gormley and Hill scale, modified Bromage scale, Ramsay sedation scale, and rescue analgesic requirement were recorded along with hemodynamic parameters. Pearson’s Chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Results: The onset time of sensory and motor blockade was shortened and the duration of the block was significantly prolonged in the BD Group than BF Group (P |
