Comparison of the effects of intrathecal ropivacaine, levobupivacaine, and bupivacaine for Caesarean section.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to detect if intrathecal (i.t.) ropivacaine and levobupivacaine provided anaesthesia (satisfactory analgesia and muscular relaxation) and postoperative analgesia of similar quality to bupivacaine in patients undergoing Caesarean section. METHODS Ninety parturients were enrolled. A combined spinal-epidural technique was used. Patients were randomly assigned to recei...
متن کاملMinimum effective local anesthetic dose of intrathecal hyperbaric ropivacaine and bupivacaine for cesarean section.
BACKGROUND Intrathecal anesthesia is commonly used for cesarean section. Bupivacaine and ropivacaine have all been used as intrathecal drugs. The minimum effective local anesthetic dose (MLAD) of intrathecal ropivacaine for non-obstetric patients has been reported. However, few data are available on the MLAD of hyperbaric ropivacaine for obstetric patients and the relative potency to bupivacain...
متن کاملMinimum local analgesic doses of ropivacaine, levobupivacaine, and bupivacaine for intrathecal labor analgesia.
BACKGROUND Doses for intrathecal opioid-local anesthetic mixtures have been arbitrarily chosen. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacies of intrathecal ropivacaine, levobupivacaine, and bupivacaine for labor analgesia and to determine the analgesic potency ratios for these three drugs. For this purpose, the authors used the up-down sequential allocation model, which estimat...
متن کاملMinimum effective local anaesthetic dose of isobaric levobupivacaine and ropivacaine administered via a spinal catheter for hip replacement surgery.
BACKGROUND Continuous spinal anaesthesia with spinal catheters allows incremental dosing of local anaesthetic and, consequently, less haemodynamic changes. However, little is known about the required doses. Therefore, we designed a study to assess the minimum effective local anaesthetic dose (MLAD) of levobupivacaine and ropivacaine in this context. METHODS Forty-one patients undergoing hip r...
متن کاملSymptomatic local anaesthetic toxicity and plasma ropivacaine concentrations after transversus abdominis plane block for Caesarean section.
BACKGROUND The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block involves injecting a large volume of local anaesthetic between the muscles of the abdominal wall. Plasma concentrations of ropivacaine after gynaecological laparotomy are potentially high enough to result in systemic toxicity, and there are pharmacokinetic reasons why pregnancy may increase susceptibility to local anaesthetic toxicity. ME...
