The combination of dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg with lidocaine 2% (3mg/kg) when applying intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA) allowed improved postoperative analgesia. Furthermore, the combination reduced onset time, extended recovery time for sensory/motor blocks and did not affect the incidence of intra-operative and postoperative complications.
