Background and aims: we aimed to compare the effects of adding dexmedetomidine vs. fentanyl as adjuvants to local anesthetic mixture in peribulbar block for retinal surgery.
Methods: One hundred and thirty adult patients scheduled for retina surgery under peribulbar block were included in this prospective randomized study. The study included 2 groups: Group D received local anesthetic mixture (bupivacaine 0.5%+lidocaine 2%+hyaluronidase 15 IU/mL) plus 20 μg of dexmedetomidine l and Group F received the same local anesthetic mixture plus 20 μg of fentanyl. We observed the onset and duration of sensory and motor block, number of patients needed supplemental local anesthetic injection, volume of anesthetic injected, Ramsay sedation score, visual analogue scale for pain, and adverse events.
