Abstract

CONTEXT: Dexmedetomidine, an α-agonist, has been studied widely as an adjuvant to local anesthetics in regional anesthesia techniques to enhance the quality and duration of analgesia (DOA). It was hypothesized that addition of dexmedetomidine 0.5 ug.kg to levobupivacaine would prolong the DOA.
