Abstract

the time passed from the onset until return of preblock. movement. 4- The duration of postoperative analgesia is the time passed from the onset until first request for analgesia. 5- Amount of postoperative analgesic requirement.

6- Sedation score

7- Tourniquet discomfort using visual analogue scale.

8- The complications from technique or local anesthetic were recorded. The results of this study were: • I- There was no statistically significant difference in demographic data among studied groups. • There was no significant change in heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure or 02 saturation between the 2 groups. 3- There was no statistical difference in the onset of sensory or motor block in both groups. 4- There was a statistically significant prolongation of the time of return of sensation; postoperative analgesia and motor block in clonidine group. 5- There was significant reduction of the amount of postoperative analgesics in the clonidine group. 6- No difference in sedation scores between the 2 groups.

7- No tourniquet pain was observed in both groups. 8- There is no complications had resulted either from the local anesthetic or the anesthetic technique in the two groups.
