Comparison of clonidine and fentanyl as adjuvant to ropivacaine in spinal anesthesia in lower abdominal surgeries

Abstract: Background:Ropivacaine, a newer local anesthetic, is gaining increased acceptance due to its improved safety profile over bupivacaine and lignocaine. Analgesic adjuvants have proved to be valuable in improving the quality of anesthesia and duration of analgesia.Aim:To compare the efficacy of clonidine and fentanyl as adjuvants to ropivacaine in spinal anesthesia in lower abdominal surgeries.Materials and Methods:A randomized, double-blind control study was carried out in 100 patients who were randomly divided … Show more

“…compared intrathecal clonidine 30 μg with fentanyl 25 μg and concluded that clonidine had advantage over fentanyl which is in agreement with our study. [ 10 ] However, Mahendru et al . in their study opined that intrathecal 30 μg clonidine is comparable to 25 μg fentanyl regarding sensory and motor block characteristics which was not in agreement with our study.…”

“…As regard Motor block in different times there is statistically significant higher motor block with high doses of prilocaine compared to low and medium doses with p <.001 in different times. As regard time for complete motor block [min] the onset time to obtain the highest motor block level was shorter in higher doses of Prilocaine compared to low and medium doses [10 T, 12 T and 12 T] respectively with [P<0.001] as presented in table [5].…”

“…It exhibits more rapid hepatic metabolism than another amide local anesthetic and is transported and degraded more quickly overall. By inhibiting Na+ channels in neuron membranes, prilocaine limits the creation and neurological waves that are transmitted [5] .…”

“…Though fentanyl and clonidine do enhance the analgesic duration of bupivacaine, clonidine, in particular, is shown to have lesser side effects like reduced postoperative nausea and better patient satisfaction [11,14,20,21].…”
