However, there have been few studies on the combination of DEX and two different LAs for a brachial plexus block (BPB). The effects of adding DEX to low concentrations of lidocaine (LIDO) mixed with ropivacaine (ROP) on block onset, duration of anesthesia, and efficacy of analgesia in ultrasound-guided axillary (UGA) BPB were investigated.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University (ChiCTR-IPR-16007742, January 12, 2016), China.
