COMPARISON OF TWO DIFFERENT DOSES OF INTRATHECAL DEXMEDETOMIDINE (5 µG VERSUS 10 µG) AS AN ADJUVANT TO HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE FOR SPINAL ANAESTHESIA IN LOWER LIMB ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERIES: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED DOUBLE-BLIND STUDY
Background: Intrathecal dexmedetomidine (Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine) is increasingly used as an adjuvant to hyperbaric bupivacaine (Hyperbaric Bupivacaine) to increase the extent and spinal anaesthesia’s quality.
