Summary

To compare the mean duration of postoperative analgesia following addition of dexmedetomidine to ropivacaine versus plain ropivacaine in ultrasound guided rectus sheath block in patients undergoing midline laparotomies

Conditions

  • Midline Laparotomy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Rectus Sheath Block

In Dexmedetomedine combined with ropivacaine group, under ultrasound guidance, the needle will be advanced posterior to the rectus muscle, and 20 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine mixed with 1ug/kg body weight will be injected to hydrodissect the rectus muscle from the posterior sheath.
