Haemato-biochemical parameters viz- Hb PCV, TLC, DLC, serum glucose, Serum Total protein, Serum urea nitrogen, Serum Creatinine, AST and ALT were measured after lumbar epidural administration of bupivacaine alone (group A), bupivacaine withfentanyl (group B) and bupivacaine with medetomidine (group C) animals (@ 0.15mg/kg body wt., 0.15mg/kg body wt + 2μgm/kg body wt, 0.15mg/kg body wt.+ 15μgm/kg body wt) respectively. Haematological studies revealed a not really significant decrease in Hb, PCV and TLC in group A and B, a significant (p}, keywords = {Epidural anaesthesia,Bupivacaine,Fentanyl,Medetomidine,Haemato-biochemical}, url = {https://ijvst.um.ac.ir/article_25898.html}, eprint = {https://ijvst.um.ac.ir/article_25898_9daecd08deec5fa51201c94cde2aed7d.pdf} }
