BACKGROUNDEpidural anaesthesia using Inj. Ropivacaine results in an effective anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia and addition of adjuvants would be advantageous. Clonidine and dexmedetomidine are α2-agonists used as adjuvants in epidural anaesthesia. Aim of our study was to compare Inj. Dexmedetomidine and Inj. Clonidine added to epidural ropivacaine with respect haemodynamic parameters-heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, motor blockade and sedations scores in patients undergoing lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries.
