Introduction: Spinal anesthesia is considered a reasonable choice for cesarean section. Bupivacaine and ropivacaine have been used as intrathecal drugs alone or in combination with various opioids. Ropivacaine is considered a valid and safe alternative to bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia. Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric ropivacaine with hyperbaric bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section. Methodology: Sixty pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean section were allocated into two groups. Group R received 3 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric ropivacaine (2 ml 0.75% plain ropivacaine mixed with 1 ml of 25 %dextrose) and Group B received 2.5 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine. Both the groups were compared in terms of onset of sensory and motor block, regression of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia and side effects. Results: The onset of sensory block was comparable in both groups but was statistically insignificant. The onset of motor block in Bupivacaine(7.53 ± 1.72) min was faster when compared to Ropivacaine group(14.33 ± 6.19) min. Regression of sensory and motor block both were faster in Ropivacaine group. Duration of analgesia was longer in Bupivacaine group(131.17 ± 32.95)min than Ropivacaine group(125.33 ± 30.54)min. Conclusion: Ropivacaine can be used as an alternative to Bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia in cesarean section but has a shorter duration of sensory and motor block.

Background: Cesarean section (CS) is one of the most common surgical procedures in female patients. Authors aimed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of adding intrathecal fentanyl to bupivacaine, and its effect on the onset and duration of spinal anesthesia along with its effect on mother and neonate.Methods: Study was performed on 60 cesarean section parturients divided into two groups. Group F received 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.4 ml fentanyl (20 µg), and Group B received 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.4 ml of normal saline. The parameters taken into consideration were pain scores, analgesic requirement, hemodynamic stability and side effects.Results: It was found that duration of sensory block was prolonged in fentanyl group (111 minutes vs 86 minutes, p<0.001). Duration of effective analgesia (174.36 minutes vs 127.81; p value <0.001) were also found to be prolonged in Group F with requirement of fewer postoperative analgesics (1.02 vs 2.76, p=0.03). There was not much difference in the occurrence of side effects in both the groups.Conclusions: Addition of fentanyl to intrathecal bupivacaine for cesarean section increases the duration of postoperative analgesia without increasing maternal or neonatal side effects.

Abstract Background Spinal anesthesia is the most popular procedure in the field of anesthesiology. Subarachnoid block is the preferred anesthetic technique for cesarean section, being simple to perform and economical with rapid onset. Lower incidence of failed block, less drug doses, minimal neonatal depression and decreased incidence of aspiration pneumonitis are added advantages of spinal anesthesia. Objectives The study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of Fentanyl versus Nalbuphine when used with intrathecal injection of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean section as the primary objective and compare intraoperative hemodynamic changes and postoperative pruritus and shivering as the secondary objectives. Methods and material After Approval was obtained from the research ethics committee of faculty of medicine, Ain Shams University and after obtaining a written informed consent. Fifty adult females underwent elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia, their ages ranged between 18-45 years old and classified as ASA I and II were enrolled in the study at obstetrics and gynecology Ain Shams university hospital over 4 months. The patients were randomly divided using computer generated randomization into two groups 25patients in each (n = 25), Group A received intrathecal injection of 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine plus 0.5 ml fentanyl (25 μg); Group B received intrathecal injection of 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine plus 0.5 ml nalbuphine (0.8 mg) Results The main significant findings in this study was that fentanyl has a more rapid onset of motor block (5.63±0.25 minute in fentanyl group versus 5.88±0.19 minute in nalbuphine group), while nalbuphine produces less perioperative side effects as: shivering (7 patients in fentanyl group versus 1 patient in nalbuphine group), pruritis (6 patients in fentanyl group versus 1 patient in nalbuphine group), nausea and vomiting (5 patients in fentanyl group versus 1 patient in nalbuphine group). Regarding perioperative hemodynamic parameters and postoperative analgesia, they were comparable between the 2 groups. Conclusions We concluded that either intrathecal nalbuphine (0.8 mg) combined with (10 mg) Bupivacaine or intrathecal fentanyl (25 µg) combined with (10 mg) Bupivacaine improves intraoperative analgesia and prolongs early postoperative analgesia in cesarean section with significantly lower incidence of side effects as shivering, pruritis, nausea and vomiting in Nalbuphine.
