abstract

conclusions the addition of 2.5-3 mcg sufentanil to 15 mg 0.05% bupivacaine maintained the patient’s hemodynamic stability similar to fentanyl. intrathecal sufentanil added to bupivacaine,when compared with fentanyl, may lead to prolonged duration of analgesia, facilitate the spread of the sensory block, increase mean spo2 levels, and reduce overall side effects. background the addition of intrathecal opioids to local anesthetics seems to improve the quality of analgesia and prolong the duration of analgesia, when using a subarachnoid block in iranian patients with their specific pain tolerance. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding fentanyl or sufentanil, to intrathecal bupivacaine, in terms of the onset and duration of; sensory block, motor block, hemodynamic effects and postoperative pain relief. patients and methods this randomized clinical trial included 90 patients who underwent orthopedic lower limb surgeries. subjects were divided into experimental groups; intrathecal fentanyl 25 µg (f), and sufentanil 2.5 µg (s), along with a placebo 0.5 ml normal saline (c) group, which were added to bupivacaine 0.5%, 15 mg. duration of complete and effective analgesia was recorded (by a visual analogue scale-vas). the pain scores were assessed postoperatively. intraoperative mean arterial pressure (map), heart rate and oxygen saturation (spo2) were recorded. the incidence of side effects such as; nausea, vomiting, pruritus, shivering, bradycardia and hypotension were also recorded. results map and heart rate results showed no significant changes at the designated time points among the three groups (p > 0.05). however, spo2 and vas showed significant changes at the designated time points among the three groups (p < 0.05). the duration of complete and effective analgesia was also significantly longer in the sufentanil group (p < 0.05). motor block did not exhibit any significant difference (p = 0.67). only pruritus as a side effect was significantly higher in the sufentanil group (p < 0.05), while all other evaluated side effects were significantly lower in the sufentanil group (p < 0.05).

Bupivacaine-Sufentanil Versus Bupivacaine-Fentanyl in Spinal Anesthesia of Patients Undergoing Lower Extremity Surgery

BACKGROUND The addition of intrathecal opioids to local anesthetics seems to improve the quality of analgesia and prolong the duration of analgesia, when using a subarachnoid block in Iranian patients with their specific pain tolerance. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding fentanyl or sufentanil, to intrathecal bupivacaine, in terms of the onset and duration ...

Duration of spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine in chronic opium abusers undergoing lower extremity orthopedic surgery.

BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated that chronic opium abusers have lower thresholds for pain. Spinal anesthesia is a common procedure in anesthesia, which is performed through administration of drugs (usually local anesthetics) in the intrathecal space, to produce temporary pain relief. The aim of this study was to determine whether chronic opium abuse could have any possible effect on the dur...

Comparison of fentanyl and sufentanil added to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean section

BACKGROUND Subarachnoid block is widely used for cesarean section due to the rapid induction, the complete analgesia, the low failure rate and the prevention of aspiration pneumonia. The addition of intrathecal opioids to local anesthetics seems to improve the quality of analgesia & prolong the duration of analgesia. Therefore we compared the effects of fentanyl 20 µg and sufentanil 2.5 µg, whi...

Effect of Adding Fentanyl to Bupivacaine on Patients Undergoing Transurethral Resection of the Prostate with Spinal Anesthesia: A Clinical trial

Background and purpose: Spinal anesthesia is commonly used in transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). To reduce the complications of spinal anesthesia, opioids could be helpful in decreasing the amount of anesthetic drug. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low doses of bupivacaine and fentanyl on the levels of sensory block and motor block. Materials and methods: A cli...

Comparison of the effect of adding dexmedetomidine and fentanyl to bupivacaine on nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing lower extremity orthopedic surgery with spinal anesthesia: A double-blind randomized clinical trial

Introduction: Nausea and vomiting after surgery is a relatively common complication that despite advances in prevention and treatment is still the most problematic side effect observed in the recovery room and after surgery. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding dexmedetomidine and fentanyl to bupivacaine on nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing orthopedic lower extremity surger...
