Summary
The aim of this trial is to investigate if dexmedetomidine prolongs the duration of an ulnar nerve block. By using healthy volunteers the investigators can perform bilateral ulnar nerve blocks and thereby control for a systemic effect to clarify if the effect is actually peripheral or systemic. The investigators hypothesis is that dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to a local anaesthetic prolongs the duration of a peripheral nerve block by a peripheral mechanism.
