Abstract
Introduction Many adjuvants have been used with local anaesthetics in spinal anaesthesia to abstain from intraoperative pain and provide prolonged postoperative analgesia. Intrathecal fentanyl, when added to spinal local anaesthetics reduces visceral and somatic pain.[[10]] The time of sensory and motor block was significantly shorter in the F group compared to the D or DF groups. Conclusion We conclude that intrathecal dexmedetomidine with fentanyl as an adjuvant to bupivacaine is a much better alternative to fentanyl and dexmedetomidine for long duration of surgical procedures due to its prolonged analgesic properties and motor blockade.
