Comparative study of intrathecal isobaric and hyperbaric ropivacaine in cesarean delivery

Spinal Anesthesia is a common safe, economical, easy to perform and effective technique which provides rapid and reliable anesthesia with muscle relaxation for pts undergoing lower abdominal surgery. Aim: To compare isobaric and hyperbaric ropivacaine in patients undergoing cesarean delivery Materials and Methods: Prospective Observational Clinical Study patients admitted for elective cesearan Delivery. The Duration of study is one year. 80 patients , aged 21 years to 30 years , belongs to ASA physical status 1 & 2, posted for elective Caesarean delivery under spinal Anaesthesia. These patients are divided into two groups of 40 patients Each. Group I : patients received 2ml of 0.75%  Isobaric  Ropivacaine  (isobaric group), Group H: patients received 2 ml of 0.75% hyperbaric  Ropivacaine in dextrose 50mg/ml (Hyperbaric group). There was no significant difference in the onset of sensory block. Time from injection to highest sensory block is significantly higher in isobaric group [ Group-I], when compared to hyperbaric group [ Group-H]. Time for onset of modified bromage grade 3 is longer in isobaric group than hyperbaric group. Time for motor regression is faster in hyperbaric group than in isobaric group so that early mobilization in hyperbaric group patients than isobaric group patients is possible.&nbsp

Comparison of onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade with intrathecal isobaric bupivacaine versus isobaric levobupivacaine for infraumblical surgeries

Background: Spinal anaesthesia remains a popular technique of choice for performing surgeries on abdomen, pelvis and lower limbs. It has fast onset of action and provides effective sensory and motor blockade. Spinal anaesthesia is routinely performed by administration of 0.5% bupivacaine. Aims: Aim of the study was to compare onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade between intrathecal isobaric 0.5% bupivacaine and isobaric 0.5% levobupivacaine. Materials and methods: 80 patients between the age group of 18-65 years of either gender, belonging to ASA Grade I and II scheduled for elective infraumbilical surgeries were enrolled in the study. They were randomised into 2 groups. Group B received intrathecal 3.2 ml of 0.5 % isobaric bupivacaine and Group L received intrathecal 3.2 ml of 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine. Onset and duration of sensory and motor blockage were compared between the two groups
