Objective: To compare the effects of dexmedetomidine or magnesium sulfate as local anesthetic adjuvants added to the same concentration of lidocaine/ropivacaine mixtures by ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block(BPB).Methods: Sixty ASA Ι or Ⅱ patients, scheduled for forearm or hand surgery were randomly allocated into three groups:Group C(n=20)received 30 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine/1% lidocaine+3 ml of 0.9% NaCl; Group D(n=20) received 30 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine/1% lidocaine+3 ml of 0.75 μg·kg-1 dexmedetomidine. Group M(n=20) received 30 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine/1%lidocaine+3 ml of 10% magnesium sulfate. Hemodynamic changes, SpO2, BIS values were recorded at baseline(T0), 5 min(T1), 10 min(T2), 15 min(T3), 20 min(T4), 25 min(T5), 30 min(T6), 45 min(T7)and 60 min(T8) after the injection of local anesthetics(LAs), onset time and duration of sensory and motor blocks, the analgesic time and the volume dose of rescue analgesics within 48 h were recorded. Results: Compared to group C, the duration time of sensory and motor blocks and analgesic time were significantly longer in group D and group M(P<0.05), and those were longer in group D than group M, the difference was statistically significance(P<0.05). The volume dose of flurbiprofen was significantly reduced in group D and group M(P<0.05), but no significant difference was detected between the two groups(P>0.05). There were no significant differences in onset time in all the three groups.(P>0.05). In group D, BIS value was significantly decreased than that of group C and group M from T3 till T8(P<0.05); compared to group C, BIS values also significantly decreased in group M from T5 till T8(P<0.05). In group D, SAP level was significantly declined from T3 till T8 in group M, to be specific, significantly declined from T5 till T8. DAP, HR levels were significantly declined in group D compared to group C(P<0.05), in group M the DAP and HR were also declined but no significant difference was detected(P>0.05). During the surgery, SpO2 of all patients was above 97%. The volume dose of flurbiprofen treatment were significantly reduced in group D compared with those in group C. Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine or magnesium sulfate added to lidocaine/ropivacaine mixtures prolongs the duration of sensory and motor blocks of ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block, extends analgesic time, reduces the volume dose of postoperative analgesics and exerts a considerable sedative effect without significantly affecting the onset time. |
