Summary

In this randomized double blind prospective clinical study we plan to evaluate the efficacy of adding Clonidine (30mcg), Dexmedetomidine (5mcg) or isotonic saline to 0.75% isobaric Ropivacaine for administration of subarachnoid lumbar block in infra-umbilical surgical procedures with regard to characteristics of sensory and motor block and observation of any side effects.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing three types of spinal anesthetic for lower abdominal surgery: ropivacaine alone, ropivacaine plus clonidine, and ropivacaine plus dexmedetomidine. These medications are injected into the spinal fluid to numb the lower body for surgery. Adding clonidine or dexmedetomidine may extend the duration of pain relief and improve the quality of anesthesia. Researchers are measuring how quickly the block starts, how long it lasts, and any side effects. You may be eligible if: - You are between 18 and 65 years old - You are scheduled for planned (elective) lower abdominal surgery - Your surgery is expected to take no more than 2.5 hours - You are classified as ASA grade 1 or 2 (generally healthy or with mild illness) - Your height is between 150 and 180 cm You may NOT be eligible if: - You have refused to participate - You have contraindications to spinal anesthesia - Your resting heart rate is below 55 beats per minute - You take blood pressure medications, blood thinners, or aspirin - You have liver, kidney, or neurological conditions - You are obese, pregnant, or have psychosis or dementia - You have a known allergy to any of the study drugs Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

In this randomized double blind prospective clinical study we plan to evaluate the efficacy of adding Clonidine (30mcg), Dexmedetomidine (5mcg) or isotonic saline to 0.75% isobaric Ropivacaine for administration of subarachnoid lumbar block in infra-umbilical surgical procedures with regard to characteristics of sensory and motor block and observation of any side effects. Each of these treatments will be given on just one occasion Thereare three groups. GROUP RS (Ropivacaine + Isotonic Saline) is the control group They will be administered 3.0ml of 0.75% isobaric Ropivacaine + 0.2ml of Isotonic Saline (total volume of injectate 3.2ml) GROUP RC (Ropivacaine + Clonidine) They will be administered 3.0ml of 0.75% isobaric Ropivacaine + 30mcg of Clonidine (0.2ml Inj. Clonidine; total volume of injectate 3.2ml) GROUP RD (Ropivacaine + Dexmedetomidine) They will be administered 3.0ml of 0.75% isobaric Ropivacaine + 5mcg of Dexmedetomidine (0.05ml of Dexmedetomidine diluted to 0.2ml in isotonic saline; total volume of injectate 3.2ml)
