Perineural adjuvants when used as a part of multimodal analgesia (MMA) will maximize the quality and duration of analgesia of the nerve blocks. In the present study, we compared the duration of postoperative analgesia and other block characteristics of two groups of MMA comprising either perineural buprenorphine or dexmedetomidine in the upper limb surgeries performed under ultrasound-guided (US-guided) infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks.
