Summary

Adjuncts to local anaesthetics for the peripheral nerve blocks such as epinephrine, clonidine and opioids have been widely used to enhance quality, duration of anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia. Clonidine, an α2-adrenergic agonist, when combined with local anaesthetics in axillary brachial plexus block has shown to decrease block onset time and prolong the duration of anaesthesia.

We propose to compare the effects of combining both adjuvants to 20 mL of lidocaine 2% on the onset of ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block.
