Highlights

This study was aimed at comparing the duration and quality of epidural analgesia between plain bupivacaine alone with plain bupivacaine and tramadol in lower limb orthopaedic surgeries
This study demonstrated that the use of a In the present study, it was observed that the mean combination of bupivacaine and tramadol provides standard deviation of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at the time of superior analgesia when compared with rescue analgesia was lower in group Bcompared bupivacaine alone for epidural anaesthesia in lower with group A (p
This shows that addition of limbs orthopaedic surgeries. This was manifested tramadol for epidural analgesia reduces the mean by lower VAS scores and prolonged duration of VAS

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Adjuvant drugs that have been added to Epidural anaesthesia implies the deposition of local bupivacaine for epidural anaesthesia These anaesthetic agent with or without adjuvant into the include among others tramadol, morphine and epidural space which results in the autonomic, fentanyl.[1] The epidural sensory blockade effect has sensory and motor blockades. Baseline vital signs were obtained and documented.The Patient's peripheral vein was Tramadol is readily available and cheap in cannulated and preloaded with crystalloids developing countries such as Nigeria.[4] If found to be (0.9%saline solution) 10mls/kg body weight over effective as an additive to bupivacaine it will go a 20 minutes before epidural block. This study was aimed to verify the duration and quality of analgesia efficacy of the Epidural anaesthesia was performed under aseptic addition of epidural tramadol to plain bupivacaine condition by the blinded researcher, after for lower limb orthopaedic surgeries in Federal assembling the epidural catheter. Position the back of the patient was cleaned and draped under aseptic condition and the L2-L3
