ABSTRACT Introduction This prospective, randomized, double-blind study compared the onset and duration of sensory blockade, motor blockade, and analgesia with lignocaine, bupivacaine, and midazolam combination vs only lignocaine, bupivacaine in brachial plexus block. Materials and methods Patients of either sex, aged 18–60 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I/II, posted for upper limb surgeries to be performed under supraclavicular brachial plexus block with the help of peripheral nerve stimulator were administered either 10 ml 0.5% bupivacaine with 50 μg/kg midazolam (preservative free) + 20 ml 2% lignocaine with adrenaline (1:200,000) in Group lignocaine– bupivacaine–midazolam (LBM) or 10 ml 0.5% bupivacaine + 20 ml 2% lignocaine with adrenaline (1:200,000) in Group lignocaine–bupivacaine (LB). Onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade were monitored. Postoperative analgesia was graded with visual analog scale. Sedation was monitored with Ramsey sedation score. Results A total of 60 patients were randomized to the group LBM (n = 30) and group LB (n = 30). The analgesia was significantly prolonged in the study group, with a mean of 11.72 ± 1.924 hours as compared with a mean of 6.383 ± 1.031 hours in the control group. Sedation scores were higher in the study group, that is, group LBM compared to group LB postoperatively. Conclusion In conclusion, midazolam when added to bupivacaine and adrenalized lignocaine for supraclavicular brachial plexus block hastens the onset of sensory and motor blockade. This combination improves analgesia, as manifested by lower pain scores and prolonged duration of analgesia. How to cite this article Dalvi NP, Salunkhay H, Mohite SN.

Background: Comparative study of intravenous versus perineural administration of dexmedetomidine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block using 0.75% ropivacaine by ultrasound guided technique in upper limb surgeries.Methods: Patients in the age group 18-58 years both male and female, having ASA 1 and ASA 2, scheduled for elective surgery of unilateral upper limb surgeries were included and randomly divided into three groups’ i.e. group RD, group RDI and group R and patients with chronic pain or taking any analgesics, ASA grade III and IV, bleeding disorders, history of brachial plexus injury, known allergy to the study drug, previous shoulder surgery, any psychiatric disorders, peripheral neuropathy, failed block, significant respiratory disease, hearing impairment, pregnant women, study were excluded.Results: Time to sensory onset in group RD was as compared to group RDI and group R was found statistically significant (p<0.001). Duration of sensory block (analgesia) in group RD, group RDI and Group R was also statistically significant (p<0.001). The level of sedation of Group RDI and Group RD had highly significant value till 30 mins (p<0.001).Conclusions: The central effects of dexmedetomidine also play some role in prolongation of sensory and motor block duration, as explained previously.

Abstract Background Post operative pain and stress is a very known complication of many surgical procedures which represents a burden for the patient and associated with many complications including stress, myocardial ischemia, prolonged hospital stay and the need of extensive post operative analgesia. Aim of the Work to study the effect of Fentanyl as an adjuvant to bupivacaine and Lidocaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block. After taking approval from Local Ethical Committee approval and informed written consent from each patient, this randomized prospective comparative study was conducted on 60 patients who were divided into two groups: Group A (Control group): 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine + 6 ml of lidocaine hydrochloride 2% + 1 ml of Normal Saline 0.9%. Group B (Fentanyl group): 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine + 6 ml of lidocaine hydrochloride 2% + 1ml of fentanyl 50 ug/ml. Results our study showed that addition of a 50 microgram of fentanyl to bupivacaine and lidocaine in ultrasound-guided supraclavicular nerve block has statistically significant effect on the onset of sensory and motor block and prolonged the duration of the sensory and the motor block. In addition, fentanyl prolonged the duration of analgesia of the plexus block significantly, as proved by the time of request of first analgesia. Moreover, in fentanyl group, postoperative analgesic requirements were greatly lesser than that of bupivacaine and lidocaine groups. Addition of fentanyl also did not affect the hemodynamic to a significant level Conclusion fentanyl with bupivacaine and lidocaine more superior than the use of bupivacaine and lidocaine alone.
