Aims: The aim of the study is to compare the onset, duration of sensory and motor block, and hemodynamic changes between equipotent doses of 0.75% Ropivacaine H with dexmedetomidine & 0.5% Bupivacaine H with dexmedetomidine. Materials and Methods: This was a comparative study conducted on ASA grade I and II patients, aged between 18 and 60 years, scheduled for elective lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries. Minimum of 60 patients, divided into two groups, Group R, and Group B (30 patients in each Group). Group R patients received hyperbaric ropivacaine 0.75% 3cc + 10 mcg dexmedetomidine and Group B patients received hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% 3cc + 10 mcg dexmedetomidine. Monitoring of vitals and observation for the block parameters were carried out and compared. Categorical data are compared using the Chi-Square test. Continuous variables are compared using a student t-test. P-value < 0.05 is considered significant.
