NCT04037774

Brief Summary

The charactereistics of a spinal block varies with the dose of local anaesthetic and the adjuvant used. Literature review did not show comparison of different doses of dexmedetomidine with low-dose bupivacaine in saddle block. The rationale of this study is to determine an optimum dose of dexmedetomidine which in combination with low dose bupivacaine would provide satisfactory block with hemodynamic stability. This would be beneficial for patients scheduled for turp, as these pts are mostly elderly with various comorbidities.
