Summary

Conclusions

Our meta-analysis generates the evidence that perineural dexmedetomidine is a superior adminstration for prolonging the duration of analgesia. Perineural dexmedetomidine shows the advantages in duration of sensory block and the onset time of sensory and motor block, when compared to the intravenous administration. Dexmedetomidine as a local anesthetic adjuvant for perineural injection may be much safer than intravenous application because of the lower incidence of patients of Ramsay Sedation Scale > 3 and lower incidence of hypotension and bradycardia
