Summary
Intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine during procedure was known to be associated prolonged
duration of spinal anesthesia. In patients receiving dexmedetomidine infusion during
procedure, it has been not evaluated whether use of adjuvant intrathecal fentanyl had
additional prolonging effect on duration of spinal anesthesia or not. Therefore, the
investigators planned this trial to compare clinical outcomes in patients receiving spinal
anesthesia with heavy bupivacaine only and heavy bupivacaine plus fentanyl adjuvant.
