Acerca de la investigación
This randomized controlled trial compares two isovolumetric intrathecal doses of dexmedetomidine (5 micrograms and 10 micrograms) added to 12.5 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia in adults undergoing elective infra-umbilical surgery. A total of 544 patients are randomly allocated into two groups of 272 each. The incidence of intraoperative hypotension is the primary outcome. Intraoperative bradycardia, number of hypotensive and bradycardic episodes, rescue drug use and time to two-segment regression of the sensory block are secondary outcomes.

Subarachnoid block is a single-shot technique with a limited duration of anaesthesia and analgesia. Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, prolongs the sensory and motor block when added to intrathecal local anaesthetic without causing respiratory depression, but it may cause dose-dependent bradycardia and hypotension. Published trials comparing 5 micrograms and 10 micrograms intrathecal dexmedetomidine report conflicting rates of hypotension and bradycardia, so the lowest effective dose that keeps haemodynamics stable remains unclear.
After approval from the Ethics Research Review Committee of PIMS and written informed consent, 544 ASA I-II adults aged 18-80 years scheduled for elective infra-umbilical surgery under spinal anaesthesia are randomly allocated by computer-generated random numbers into two groups of 272 each. Group L receives 5 micrograms dexmedetomidine and Group H receives 10 micrograms dexmedetomidine; each dose is diluted with normal saline to 1 ml and added to 12.5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine, so that both injectates have the same volume. Patients are blinded to group allocation.
Heart rate and mean arterial pressure are recorded at baseline and throughout surgery. Intraoperative hypotension is defined as a fall in mean arterial pressure of more than 20% from baseline and is treated with intravenous phenylephrine. Intraoperative bradycardia is defined as a heart rate below 60 beats per minute and is treated with intravenous atropine. The number of hypotensive and bradycardic episodes, total phenylephrine and atropine doses, highest level of sensory block and time to two-dermatome regression of the sensory block are recorded.
Data are analysed in SPSS version 26.0. Normality of quantitative data is checked by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Categorical outcomes are compared by the chi-square test and quantitative outcomes by the independent sample t-test. Effect modifiers (age, gender, ASA class, type of surgery and level of sensory block) are controlled by stratification and multivariable logistic regression. A p-value of less than 0.05 is taken as significant.
