Abstract

Background: Ropivacaine is commonly used for peripheral nerve blocks. Adding adjuvants to Ropivacaine has several advantages like faster onset of action, longer duration of analgesia and lesser complications. This study aims at comparing two such adjuvants with respect to onset of action, intraoperative haemodynamics, duration of postoperative analgesia and any associated complications.
