Abstract :

Brachial plexus block provides a useful alternative to general anesthesia for upper limb surgery. Various adjuvant drugs had been tried to improve the quality of block. Methods ; Study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of injection Clonidine (150 µg) or injection Tramadol (100mg) as an adjuvant to local anesthetic mixture in 50 adult patients (ASA Grade I and II )in the age group of 18–50 years via supraclavicular approach of achial plexus block. Assessment of patients of both groups were done for Onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, Perioperative hemodynamic changes, Duration of post operative analgesia and Adverse effects of drugs .Conclusion: onset of sensory and motor block was comparable in both the groups but Clonidine provides longer duration of sensory and motor blockage and post operative analgesia than Tramadol.
