Abstract

Ultrasound guided supraclavicular block has emerged as an effective and feasible mode of providing analgesia in upper limb surgery. Participants were allocated to two equal groups of 60 each using a computer generated random number list. Group A patients received 25ml of 0.5% Levobupivacaine with 1mcg/Kg IBW of fentanyl (addressed as LF in the study) and Group B patients received 25ml of 0.5% Levobupivacaine and 1mcg/Kg IBW of Dexmedetomidine (addressed as LD in the study).
