Abdominal Cancer | Drug: Dexmedetomidine Drug: Ketamine Drug: Bupivacaine | Phase 3 |
Patients will be randomly assigned using an online research randomizer into three groups, 30 patients in each group:
Group C:
30 patients receive local anesthetic wound infiltration with with 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.5 % diluted in 20 ml saline (total volume 40 ml) in two divided doses i.e. 20 ml is administered on each side of incision( control group).
Group K:
30 patients receive local anesthetic wound infiltration with with 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.5 % diluted in 20 ml saline +1 mg /kg ketamine (total volume 40 ml) in two divided doses i.e. 20 ml is administered on each side of incision.
Group D:
30 patients receive local anesthetic wound infiltration with with 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.5 % diluted in 20 ml saline + 1µg/kg dexmedetomidine (total volume 40 ml) in two divided doses i.e. 20 ml is administered on each side of incision.
