Abstract:
Pain following thoracic surgery has been reported to be among the most intense clinical experiences. Patients experience painful wound incisions that alter chest wall mechanics and ineffective chest expansion may predispose to atelectasis, ventilation/ perfusion mismatching, hypoxemia and infection. The aim of this study is to compare the preemptive use of either dexmedetomidine or clonidine when combined with bupivacaine versus bupivacaine alone in thoracic epidural anaesthesia in patient undergoing thoracotomy.
Keywords:
