Introduction: The study compared spinal anesthesia using intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine between height and weight adjusted dose and fi xed dose during caesarean section. Methods: A hundred parturients, who had given their consent and were scheduled for elective caesarean section under spinal anesthesia, were randomly assigned into two groups. We adjusted the intrathecal dose of heavy bupivacaine (0.5 %) according to the height and weight of patients (Group AD) from Harten’s dose chart developed from the Caucasian parturients and the fi xed dose (2.2 ml) was used in Group FD patients. Keeping the observer blinded to the study groups, the onset time to sensory block up to T5, haemodynamic changes, side effects, and fetal outcome were observed. Results: The median onset time of spinal block in Group FD was faster than in Group AD (6 min vs. 4 min; p = 0.01). The spinal block level extended above T3 level in a signifi cantly (p < 0.05) larger number of patients 12 (24 %) in Group FD than in one (2 %) patient in Group AD. A signifi cantly (p < 0.05) larger number of patients, 32, (64 %) in Group FD had hypotension than in 15 (30 %) patients in Group AD. The lowest recorded SAP (101 ± 6 mm Hg) in Group AD was higher than in Group FD (96 ± 6.7 mm Hg). Nausea and vomiting were more pronounced in Group FD patients. Conclusions: The bupivacaine dose was signifi cantly reduced on its dose adjustment for the body weight and height of patients for cesearean section. This adjusted-dose use suitably restricted spinal block level for cesarean section with a distinct advantage of less hypotension and with a similar neonatal outcome as fi xed compared with the dose use. keywords: caesarean section; low-dose hyperbaric bupivacaine; spinal anesthesia.

Background: During caesarean section hypotension due to spinal block is secondary to the sympathetic blockade and aorto-caval compression by the uterus. It can have important consequences for the mother and may affect neonatal outcome. The present study was aimed to compare intravenous bolus doses of phenylephrine and ephedrine to treat maternal hypotension during spinal block for elective caesarean section.Methods: After fulfilling the inclusion criteria, 100 parturient were randomly allocated into two groups of fifty each. For spinal anesthesia lumber puncture was done and 12.5mg, 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine was given intra-thecally. In this observational study, patients who developed hypotension under spinal anesthesia were selected for the study. According to their group, patients received either ephedrine 6mg (Group E) or phenylephrine 75µg (Group P) as vasopressor. During the study, number of vasopressor boluses, hemodynamic response and time taken to recover from hypotension was noted.Results: Ephedrine and phenylephrine were used in the mean doses of 6.72±1.97mg and 91.5±31.38µg respectively. In 88% parturient single bolus dose of ephedrine was effective in treating hypotension while phenylephrine was effective in 78% parturient. There was no significant difference observed in total number of boluses used. No significant difference was seen in mean systolic blood pressure, mean diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure over a given period of time in Group E and Group P. Mean systolic BP was less than 20% when compared to baseline in both the groups at different time intervals. In Group P the mean heart rate was significantly lower as compared to the Group E (p<0.05).Conclusions: Intravenous phenylephrine and ephedrine are both similar in performance in treating hypotension after spinal anesthesia for elective caesarean section and the hypotensive control offered is comparable.

Spinal anesthesia is frequently used in pregnant female undergoing caesarean section due to its safety than general anaesthesia. Post dural puncture headache (PDPH) is commonly occurring problem associated with spinal anaesthesia and causes a considerable morbidity. PDPH depends on several factor and various methods have been used to reduce and treat the pain of PDPH. We evaluated effects of hydrocortisone on the treatment of PDPH in obstetrical patient. To compare mean decrease in Visual Analogue Scalepain score in patients who developed PDPH after elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia who were given conventional treatment versus conventional treatment plus hydrocortisone. Double blind randomized control trial. Study conducted in department of anaesthesia and obstetrics of Allama Iqbal Medical College, Jinnah hospital (tertiary care) conducted from13th June 2014 to 13th December 2014. Sample size was calculated 60 (30 each) cases using 95% confidence interval, 80% power of test. Patients who developed PDPH after spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section were divided into 2 group; Group A (Conventional Treatment) and Group B, (Conventional Treatment plus Hydrocortisone 100mg 8 hourly for 48 hours). Details were recorded regarding age; mean pretreatment and post treatment VAS after 6 hours. Mean decrease in pain VAS score was 3.30 + 1.2 in group A while 7.17+ 1.3 in group B. (P value 0.001). Intravenous hydrocortisone is more effective in reducing post dural puncture headache pain severity after spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section when given along with conventional treatment as compared to conventional treatment alone.
