Abstract :
BACKGROUND OBJECTIVES:
This study was undertaken to assess, safety and efficacy of fentanyl and tramadol as an adjuvant to Levobupivacaine in supraclavicular achial plexus block.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
The study was conducted on 60 patients belonging to American Society of Anaesthesiologists Class I and II, planned for elective surgery.The patients were randomly allocated in 2groups of 30 each.GROUP A received 40 ml of 0.25% Levobupivacaine with fentanyl 1µg/kg, GROUP B– 40 ml of 0.25% Levobupivacaine with Tramadol 1mg/kg. Onset of sensory and motor block,duration of sensory and motor block as well as duration of analgesia was measured.
RESULTS:
The onset and duration of sensory and motor block as well as duration of analgesia was significantly prolonged in tramadol group(p<0.0001).
CONCLUSION:
We concluded that Levobupivacaine with Tramadol hastens the onset of Sensory and Motor Block and prolongs the duration of Block and analgesia.
