A prospective double blind randomized controlled trail was conducted on 30 patients scheduled to undergo elective lower abdominal surgeries. The patients were allocated to three groups and received epidural anaesthesia with 1.5% lignocaine with QOpg adrenaline with either saline, neostigmine lO^g/kg. and 15|jg/kg. The onset of sensory block, duration of postoperative analgesia and associated hemodynamic changes and sequelae between the three groups were studied. Addition of neostigmine to lignocaine resulted in decrease in on.set of analgesia but prolonged the duration of analgesia with no sequelae.

Abstract


A prospective double blind randomized controlled trail was conducted on 30 patients scheduled to undergo elective lower abdominal surgeries. The patients were allocated to three groups and received epidural anaesthesia with 1.5% lignocaine with QOpg adrenaline with either saline, neostigmine lO^g/kg. and 15|jg/kg. The onset of sensory block, duration of postoperative analgesia and associated hemodynamic changes and sequelae between the three groups were studied. Addition of neostigmine to lignocaine resulted in decrease in on.set of analgesia but prolonged the duration of analgesia with no sequelae.
