What is it about?
Background Caesarean sections are usually performed under spinal anaesthesia. It provides effective postoperative pain control over a limited period of time. As a result, various intrathecal additives have been used. Recently, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine have been used as adjuncts for different types of regional anaesthesia without increasing the risk of neurological complications. Objectives: We compared the analgesic effects of intrathecal dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine in elective caesarean sections.

Perspectives
• Spinal anaesthesia provides effective post operative analgesia; however, it is for a limited period of time. • To provide appropriate postoperative pain management in addition to. Cope with the issue of short duration of action of local anaesthetics, several adjuvants have been used. • Recently, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine have been used as adjuncts for different types of regional anaesthesia without increasing the risk of neurological complications. • We designed a single-blind randomized study to compare the analgesic effect of intrathecal dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine in elective caesarean sections. • Intrathecal administration of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine appears to be safe and provides prolonged duration of analgesia with the superiority of dexmedetomidine; however, further studies are required to approve intrathecal route of. These drugs or to refuse .it.
