Abstract

Clonidine has long been considered an ‘off-label’ medication for use in obstetrics. Different doses of clonidine are studied and it is found that higher doses are associated with sedation and haemodynamic instability. Hence, we analysed a mini dose of intrathecal clonidine of 30 µg for its impact primarily on post-operative analgesia and secondarily on the quality of spinal anaesthesia, haemodynamics, sedation and neonatal outcomes in caesarean sections.
