Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
to compare the total duration of analgesia effect of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as adjuvant to bupivacaine in femoral nerve block for postoperative analgesia . To calculate total analgesia requirement postoperatively. Timepoint: Baseline, immediately after block, prior to spinal,5 mins ,30 mins,60 mins, 2 hours and 6 hourly thereafter

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
time of rescue analgesiaTimepoint: time at which first dose of analgesia given postoperatively;Visual Analogue Scalewill be used for pain measurementTimepoint: every 30 min post operatively until the first dose of rescue analgesic is given.
