Postoperative Analgesic Effects of Using Bupivacaine Alone or Added Dexmedetomidine for Ultrasound Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block in Thoracotomy

we aimed postoperative analgesic effects of using bupivacaine alone or added dexmedetomidine for ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral block in thoracotomy

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Conditions

Detailed Description

paravertebral block is commonly used in the treatment for acute and chronic pain.The duration of paravertebral block could theoretically be prolonged with neurolytic agents. Dexmedetomidine ,an alfa-2 adrenoreceptor agonist, is being used and adjuvant capable of prolonging duration of sensory and motor block on nerve blocks.
