Brief Summary

Surgery of the knee is a very common procedure which can be very painful and sufficient postoperative pain treatment is often problematic. The aim of this work was to study the effects of supplementation of intra-articular bupivacaine dexmedetomidine with lidocaine 5% patch after arthroscopic knee surgery under general anesthesia and its role in improving quality of anesthesia.

Study Arms (2)

Group A (control group)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in each received 10 ml 0.5 % bupivacaine and 1µg/kg dexmedetomidine diluted in 10 ml saline injected intra-articularly without lidocaine patch

Drug: Dexmedetomidine Bupivacaine

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in each received 10 ml 0.5 % bupivacaine and 1µg/kg dexmedetomidine diluted in 10 ml saline injected intra-articularly with a patch of lidocaine 5% was applied to the skin

Drug: Lidocaine 5% patch with Dexmedetomidine Bupivacaine

Interventions

10 ml 0.5 % Bupivacaine and 1µg/kg Dexmedetomidine diluted in 10 ml saline was injected intra-articularly through one of the arthroscopic ports after the end of the surgery under complete aseptic technique and a patch of lidocaine 5% was applied to the skin between the arthroscopic ports

Group B

10 ml 0.5 % Bupivacaine and 1µg/kg Dexmedetomidine diluted in 10 ml saline was injected intra-articularly through one of the arthroscopic ports after the end of the surgery under complete aseptic technique without a patch of lidocaine 5%
