has been done previously between clonidine and fentanyl as adjuvants to bupivacaine. We compared the effect of addition of clonidine (1mcg/kg) or fentanyl (1mcg/kg) to bupivacaine (0.25%) in femoro sciatic nerve block for patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on the duration of analgesia and total requirement of rescue analgesic. Methods Sixty patients, 18-60years of age were randomly allocated to three groups. After receiving 3ml of bupivacaine (0.5%) in subarachnoid block, patients in Group 1 (control group) received 40 ml of 0.25% isobaric bupivacaine (20 ml in femoral block and sciatic block each), Group II (fentanyl group) received 40 ml of 0.25% isobaric bupivacaine with fentanyl (1mcg/kg) and Group III (clonidine group) received 40 ml of 0.25% isobaric bupivacaine with clonidine(1mcg/kg). The intra and post operative haemodynamics, pain score and sedation score were recorded along with duration of analgesia, sensory and motor block at 0,1,2,4, 8,12,18 and 24 hours. Results The patients in clonidine group had longer duration of analgesia (10.06 ± 3.62 hrs) as compared to fentanyl (7.94 ±3.62 hrs) and control group (4.59±1.20 hrs). Total amount of rescue analgesic requirement was least in clonidine group (71.25±16.77mg) as compared to fentanyl (86.25±36.71mg) and control group (161.20±50.34 mg). The number of page 4 / 5
Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) rescue analgesic bolus usage was at 9 hours in control group as compared to clonidine and fentanyl group in which it was at 24hour and 12 hour, respectively. There were no clinically significant side effects observed with the use of any of the adjuvants. Conclusion We concluded that use of clonidine (1mcg/kg) as adjuvant to bupivacaine (0.25%) in FSNB prolongs the duration of analgesia thereby, lowering the amount of rescue analgesic requirement postoperatively better than use of fentanyl (1mcg/kg) as adjuvant, without any untoward side effect. page 5 / 5
