Résumé
Background: Supraclavicular block is considered to be the ideal block for upper extremity surgeries as it provides ideal operative conditions by complete muscle relaxation and stable intra operative hemodynamics. Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Clonidine and Dexmedetomedine as an adjuvant to Ropivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Material and Methods: Ninety patients were divided randomly into 3 groups of 30 each. Group CL: Patients received injection Ropivacaine 0.5% (30 ml) + normal saline (1 ml), Group CD: Patients received injection Ropivacaine 0.5% (30 ml) + injection Clonidine (150 μg), Group DX: Patients received injection Ropivacaine 0.5% (30 ml) + injection Dexmedetomidine (100 μg). Onset of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia and motor block, complications and side effects of the study drugs were compared among the three groups. Results: The onset of sensory and motor block was earliest in Group DX, followed by Group CD, f llowed by Group CL. Complete sensory and motor block were earliest in Group DX, followed by Group CD, followed by Group CL. Similarly duration of sensory and motor block was maximum in Group DX, followed by Group CD, followed by Group CL (p<0.05). Conclusion: Dexmedetomedine and Clonidine when added to Ropivacaine for supraclavicular brachial plexus block prolong the duration of analgesia. But Dexmedetomedine is a better adjuvant as compared to Clonidine

Objective To evaluate the effect of anesthetic factors on perioperative inflammatory responses in bilateral lung transplantation.Methods Fifty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ or Ⅳ patients,aged 18-64 yr,weighing 45-65 kg,undergoing elective bilateral lung transplantation,were divided into 2 groups (n=28 each) using a random number table:routine anesthesia group (group R) and dexmedetomidine-based anesthesia group (group D).In group D,dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused as a dose of 1.0 μg/kg for 10 min followed by an infusion of 0.5 μg · kg-1 · h-1,propofol 4-6 mg · kg-1 · h-1,cisatracurium besylate 0.05 mg · kg-1 · h-1 and remifentanil 0.1-0.3 μg · kg-1 · min-1 were intravenously infused and 1％-2％ sevoflurane was inhaled.In group R,the method for anesthesia maintenance was similar to that previously described in group D except dexmedetomidine.Before anesthesia induction,immediately after intubation,immediately after one-lung ventilation,at 30 and 60 min after one-lung ventilation,immediately after two-lung ventilation,at 30 and 60 min after twolung ventilation,at the end of surgery and at 12 and 24 h after surgery (T0-10),blood samples were collected from the radial artery for determination of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha,interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The extubation time was recorded.Results The serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha,IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly lower at T3-10,and the extubation time was shorter in group D than in group R (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine-based anesthesia can decrease perioperative inflammatory responses and is helpful in improving prognesis in the patients undergoing bilateral lung transplantation.

Objective To investigate the effect of small dose of dexmedetomidine on the development of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.Methods A total of 207 patients,aged 18-60 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into either dexmedetomidine group (group D,n=103) or control group (group C,n=104) using a random number table.Before induction of anesthesia,dexmedetomidine 0.1 μg/kg was injected intravenously over 1 min in group D,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C.At 20 min before the end of surgery,dexmedetomidine 0.04 μg/kg was injected intravenously over 30 s in group D.For the patients requiring patient-controlled analgesia (PCA),PCA solution contained sufentanil 125 μg in 125 ml of normal saline.The PCA pump was set up with a 2 ml bolus dose,a 8 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 1 ml/h.Pethidine was used for PCA after surgery in the patients who did not require PCA.Numeric rating scale scores were maintained ＜4 after surgery.Sufentanil 3 μg was injected intravenously as rescue analgesic in postanaesthesia care unit (PACU).The occurrence of nausea and vomiting was recorded within 0-1 h,1-6 h,6-12 h,and 12-24 h periods after surgery.The occurrence of hypotension and bradycardia during surgery,emergence time,Ramsay sedation score on admission to PACU,requirement for sufentanil as rescue analgesic in PACU,requirement for PCA and antiemetics,and occurrence of somnolence and shivering were recorded.Results Pethidine was not given in the patients who did not require PCA in the two groups.Somnolence and shivering were not found in the two groups.Compared with group C,the incidence of bradycardia was significantly increased,the requirement for antiemetics in PACU and incidence of nausea and vomiting within 1 h after surgery were significantly decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the emergence time,Ramsay sedation score,requirement for sufentanil as rescue analgesic,requirement for PCA and total incidence of postsurgical nausea and vomiting in group D (P＞0.05).Conclusion For the patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery,small dose of dexmedetomedine can only decrease the development of nausea and vomiting in the early postsurgical period (in PACU),and does not influence the recovery from anesthesia.
