INTRATHECAL DEXMEDETOMIDINE AS ADJUVANT FOR SPINAL ANAESTHESIA FOR PERIANAL AMBULATORY SURGERIES: A RANDOMISED DOUBLE-BLIND CONTROLLED STUDY
*Dr. Jones Devanand and Dr. S. Selvamani
Abstract Dexmedetomidine is a selective α2 -adrenergic receptor agonist (α2 - AR agonist). Dexmedetomidine has been found to prolong analgesia when used as an adjuvant to local anaesthetics for subarachnoid block.[1] Analgesic action of α2 -AR agonists is a result of depression of the release of presynaptic C-fibre transmitters and by hyperpolarisation of postsynaptic dorsal horn neurons.[2] Keywords: .
