Comparison of ropivacaine alone versus dexmedetomidine or ketamine as an adjuvant for pectoral type II nerve blocks in patients undergoing mastectomy – A randomized controlled trial
We conclude that dexmedetomidine with 0.2% ropivacaine in the PECS-II block provides better postoperative analgesia and has less sedative effects than ketamine with 0.2% ropivacaine.
