INTRATHECAL BUPIVACAINE

Intrathecal anesthesia: ropivacaine versus bupivacaine.

We compared intrathecal ropivacaine to bupivacaine in patients scheduled for transurethral resection of bladder or prostate. Doses of ropivacaine and bupivacaine were chosen according to a 3:2 ratio found to be equipotent in orthopedic surgery. One hundred patients were randomly assigned to blindly receive either 10 mg of isobaric bupivacaine (0.2%, n = 50) or 15 mg of isobaric ropivacaine (0.3...

Bupivacaine augments intrathecal fentanyl for labor analgesia.

BACKGROUND fentanyl has been shown to be an effective analgesic for labor; this study investigated the analgesic effect of low-dose bpivacaine added to intrathecal fentanyl for labor analgesia METHODS Ninety parturients in active labor who requested regional analgesia were randomized to receive an intrathecal injection of either fentanyl, 25 microg; bupivacaine, 1.25 mg, with fentanyl, 25 mic...

Intrathecal bupivacaine for head and neck pain

Direct central nervous system (CNS) analgesic delivery is a useful option when more traditional means of dealing with chronic pain fail. Solutions containing local anesthetic have been effective in certain disease states, particularly in patients suffering from intractable head and neck pain. This review discusses historical aspects of CNS drug delivery and the role of intrathecal bupivacaine-c...

Comparison of the Effect of Intrathecal Bupivacaine with Intrathecal Ropivacaine on Hemodynamic of Patients under Elective Caesarean Section

Background and Objectives: The correct management of delivery and anesthesia hs important for maternal and fetal health outcome during cesarean section. The aim of this study was to compare the effect os spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine and ropivacaine on the hemodynamic parameters of pregnant women during cesarean section. Methods: This study was a randomized double blinded clinical trial o...
