Dexmedetomidine to Levobupivacaine for Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Elderly Patients Undergoing Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery
RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindTreatment
Summary
The perioperative management of pain following abdominal surgery can pose a challenge to anesthesia providers. Conventional practice has involved the use of opioids as well as neuraxial analgesic techniques. Unfortunately, these therapies are not without potential risks and side effects. These include nausea, vomiting, pruritus, urinary retention, constipation, respiratory depression, and sedation.
