Dexmedetomidine as an Additive to Local Anesthetic Mixture for Peribulbar Block in Vitreoretinal Surgeries

Sarah Ahmed Salem Ahmed;

Abstract


Many adjuvants were tried before to help to improve
the potency of the block and increase the duration of
analgesia and akinesia intra- and post-operatively.
Dexmedetomidine was used before in neuroaxial
blocks and regional blocks and proved to decrease the onset
of anesthesia and akinesia and increase the duration of
analgesia and akinesia in all these blocks.
In this study we tried small doses of dexmedetomidine
as adjuvants with tight range increments in combination with
the usual mixture of the local anesthetics used in peribulbar
block (25μg and 50μg) comparing it with a control group to
detect precisely which dose will be the best.
