A method of brachial plexus block using the axillary approach is described. The method differs from previously described techniques and allows anaesthesia to be obtained using between 7 and 20 ml of local anaesthetic solution. The results of 100 consecutive cases are reported.

BACKGROUND To improve the quality of block (sensory and motor characteristics), postoperative pain management and reduce large doses of local anaesthetics, various adjuvants are used with local anaesthetic agents. We have evaluated dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to 0.5 % ropivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block in terms of onset and duration of sensory and motor block & duration of postoperative analgesia. METHODS This is a prospective randomised comparative study. 60 patients who were admitted for elective surgeries of the lower arm, at the level of elbow, forearm & hand were enrolled. They were divided in to two groups of 30 patients each as follows - group RD: supraclavicular brachial plexus block given with 30 mL of 0.5 % ropivacaine + 1 mL (100 μg) of dexmedetomidine. Group RC: supraclavicular brachial plexus block given with 30 mL of 0.5 % ropivacaine + 1 mL of normal saline. Various parameters like onset times and durations of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia, total analgesic needed, and side-effects were recorded for each patient. RESULTS The time of onset of sensory and motor block was significantly early in dexmedetomidine group than in control group. The duration of sensory and motor block was significantly prolonged in group RD as compared to group RC. The duration of sensory block was 724.18 + 73.26 min in group RD (GD) and 582.16 + 93.12 min. in group RC (GC). The duration of analgesia was significantly prolonged in group RD. CONCLUSIONS Addition of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to ropivacaine is associated with early onset of sensory and motor block. The duration of sensory and motor block was prolonged. The duration of analgesia was prolonged and patients required less rescue analgesia. The use of dexmedetomidine was associated with reversible bradycardia and sedation score was less KEYWORDS Ropivacaine, Dexmedetomidine, Adjuvant, Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block
