Introduction: Spinal anesthesia is widely recognized as an alternative to general anesthesia for the surgery in lower extremities, perineum, or lower body wall.  The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of hyperbaric Bupivacaine over hyperbaric Ropivacaine. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 60 patients of either sex, ASA grade I &II who were randomly allocated in two groups. Group-B received 3 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine with glucose 8% and Group-R received 3ml of 0.5% hyperbaric Ropivacaine glucose 8.33%. The various parameters of the subarachnoid block, hemodynamic variables, recovery from sensory and motor blockade, and side effects were studied. Result: The time to onset of maximum sensory block level was faster in Bupivacaine (9.10±3.90min) than in Ropivacaine (10.87±5.37min) and statistically not significant. The time to 5 segments regression was faster in Ropivacaine (116.00±29.72min) than Bupivacaine (143.50±18.76min) and the time to S2 level regression of sensory block was faster in Ropivacaine (154.00±27.84min) than Bupivacaine (186.00±18.73min). The time to onset of the maximum motor was faster with Bupivacaine (8.70±3.19min) as compared to Ropivacaine (13.10±4.40min) The time to regression of motor block by 1 grade was faster with Ropivacaine (97.00±26.64min) than Bupivacaine (146.50±23.53min) and the time to complete regression of motor block was faster with Ropivacaine (149.00±30.75min) than Bupivacaine (183.50±19.96min). Conclusion: The hyperbaric Ropivacaine (3ml, 0.5%) provides a reliable subarachnoid block of shorter duration than hyperbaric Bupivacaine (3ml, 0.5%) with stable hemodynamic parameters.

Background: To compare the onset of action, intensity and duration of motor block of 0.5% hyperbaric ropivacaine with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine for elective lower abdominal, perineal and lower-limb surgeries.Methods: 70 patients undergoing elective lower abdominal, perineal and lower limb surgery receiving spinal anesthesia were divided randomly into two groups, Group B, (bupivacaine 5 mg/ml with glucose 80 mg/ml;4 ml, and Group R, (ropivacaine 5 mg/ml with glucose 80 mg/ml; 4 ml).Results: The results were analyzed and compared using Chi-square test, student ‘s t-test and Fisher’s exact tests. The onset of sensory block was more rapid with bupivacaine (p<0.05). The maximum cephalad spread was similar in both groups. However, the time required to maximum extent of cephalic spread was less in Group B (p<0.05). Motor block 3 according to modified bromage scale was obtained in both groups and the time to achieve the same was not significant. The duration of motor blockade i.e., time to complete regression of motor block was significantly greater with Group B than with Group R (0.0001). We found that there was no significant difference in the time taken to achieve grade 3 motor block but ropivacaine gave a lesser degree of motor block which regressed faster than bupivacaine (118 min versus 156 min; p<0.0001). There was no significant difference in hemodynamic parameters except that diastolic and mean pressures remained on lower side in group B (p<0.05).Conclusions: We conclude that 0.5% hyperbaric ropivacaine provides a sensory block of similar onset and extent, shorter duration of action and less frequency of hypotension as compared to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine.

Background: Epidural anesthesia is commonly used for perioperative as well as postoperative analgesia in lower limb surgeries. Adjuvant in spinal anesthesia prolongs the duration of anesthesia as well as postoperative analgesia. In this study we evaluate the effects of intrathecal dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate as an adjuvant to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in lower limb surgeries. Methods: Total 60 patients belonging to ASA I or II aged 24 to 57 years of either sex were included in this study and randomly distributed into two groups. Group (B+M) received intrathecal 100mg magnesium sulfate and Group (B+D) received intrathecal 5.0 mcg dexmedetomidine with hyperbaric bupivacaine 15mg (3ml of 0.5%). Onset and duration of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia, hemodynamic changes and complications were recorded. Results: The mean Onset time of sensory block at T10 (min.), Time to maximum sensory block level (min.), Time in minutes for complete motor block (min.), Time for Motor Emergence from Bromage 3 (min.), Time for Sensory Emergence and Time for first analgesia (min) were significantly different between groups. Conclusion: The dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant with hyperbaric bupivacaine leads to earlier onset and prolonged duration of both sensory and motor block as compared to magnesium sulfate.

INTRODUCTION Abdominal hysterectomy (AH) is a quite common gynaecological surgical procedure and electively done under central neuraxial blockade. AH is performed for malignant as well as benign indications such as uterine leiomyoma, persistent vaginal bleeding, or pelvic organ prolapse. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Compare the onset of motor and sensory block. Find out the duration of the sensory and motor blockade. Observe intraoperative hemodynamic changes and assess post-operative analgesia requirements in 24 hour. Duration of analgesia assessed by requirement of rst rescue analgesic. Observe any untoward incident during intraoperative and post-operative period and managed accordingly MATERIALS AND METHODS Study Area: Department of Anesthesiology & critical care, DARBHANGAMEDICALCOLLEGE AND HOSPITAL. Study Population: Adult patients (30- 65 years) undergoing elective abdominal hysterectomy with regional anaesthesia were included for this study. Study Period:January 2019 to March 2020 Sample Design: Subjects were divided into two groups (n=35) equal in numbers and they sampled as per computerized randomization chart. These patients were divided into two groups, group B (with epidural 0.5% bupivacaine and 100g fentanyl) and group R (with epidural 0.75% ropivavaine and 100g fentanyl). Study Design: Prospective, open, randomized, controlled study. RESULTS: In Our study showed that 3.38kg/m2 and 24.86 3.60 kg/m2in group B and R respectively. The duration of surgery was 100.86 9.35minutes and 98.86 8.32 minutes and the duration of stay, was4.86 0.81days and 4.60 0.914 days in group B and group R respectively. Now with comparison of both groups, time to onset of sensory block (uptoT6) has signicant variation. But the other parameters namely, time to onset of motor block, two segment regression or duration of sensory block, rescue analgesia timing and complete motor recovery time were comparable and not signicant statistically in both groups. SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS To conclude that in the present study using 0.5% bupivacaine with fentanyl and 0.75% ropivacaine with fentanyl epidurally, ropivacaine produced an earlier onset but similar duration of sensory block. The onset, quality and duration of motor block werecomparable in both the groups. It is important that new local anaesthetics with lower cardiotoxic property are adopted to ensure that regional techniques using large amounts of local anaesthetics remain safe with minimal complications. The recovery prole of ropivacaine may be useful where prompt mobilization is require

Introduction: Neuraxial opioids are widely used as adjuvants to local anaesthetic as they improve quality and duration of block. Neuraxial opioids like Butorphanol and Fentanyl allow prolonged analgesia in the postoperative period and faster recovery from spinal anaesthesia. Aim: To compare the safety and efficacy of Butorphanol and Fentanyl combined with bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia in infraumbilical surgeries. Materials and Methods: The present study was a randomised controlled trial in which 110, ASA I and II patients of either sex who underwent elective infraumbilical surgeries under spinal anaesthesia were selected. Patients were allocated randomly into two groups A (n=55) and B (n=55). Group A (F) received intrathecal 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg (3 mL) with fentanyl 25 microgram (0.5 mL) to make it total 3.5 mL. Group B (B) received intrathecal 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg (3 mL) with butorphanol 250 microgram (0.25 mL) and Normal Saline (NS) 0.25 mL to make it total 3.5 mL. Heart Rate (HR), Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (SBP, DBP), two segment regression time of sensory block, motor block were assessed at preset intervals. Chi-square test or Fischer’s-exact test were used and a p-value ≤0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Mean of two segment sensory regression time of Group A was 41.94±1.73 minutes and Group B was 50.56±4.43 minutes (p<0.0001). Time to onset of motor block in Group A was 5.28±.32 minutes and Group B was 5.27±.32 minutes (p=0.96). Mean duration of motor block in Group A was 81.23±4.87 minutes and Group B was 109.83±2.61 minutes (p<0.0001). Time to rescue analgesic was 289.27±7.37 minutes in Group A and 378.41±10.25 minutes in Group B (p<0.0001). HR, SBP and DBP were comparable among the groups. Conclusion: Intrathecal bupivacaine-butorphanol mixture was clinically better as it provided longer duration of analgesia with lesser incidences of pruritus and nausea/vomiting compared to intrathecal fentanyl-bupivacaine mixture.

Background: Regional anesthesia techniques for gynecological procedures are on increasing trends due to their advantage of postoperative analgesia owing to intrathecal adjuvants. The present study was aimed to comparatively evaluate the clinical efficacy of clonidine with nalbuphine when co-administered intrathecally with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine for Lower abdominal surgeries in Gynecology. Methods: With institutional ethics committee clearance No. 193MC/EC/2018, randomized, double blind study was conducted. After obtaining informed written consent total of 84 patients scheduled for lower abdominal surgeries were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A (n=42) - Inj.  3.5 ml Bupivacaine 0.5% + 0.2 ml Clonidine(30µg) intrathecally.  Group B (n=42) - Inj.3.5 ml Bupivacaine 0.5%+0.2 ml Nalbuphine(2mg) intrathecally. The characteristics of sensory and motor block, hemodynamic data, side effects were recorded. Results: The onset of sensory block was earlier in Group B than Group A (3.08±0.52 min vs 4.00±0.54 min, p<0.001 ). The onset of motor block was also earlier in Group B than Group A (7.78±0.80 min vs 8.80±0.95min, p<0.001). The time to first rescue analgesia in patients receiving intrathecal clonidine was significantly delayed than patients receiving intrathecal nalbuphine (284.95 ± 12.93 min vs 211.52 ± 15.92 min, p<0.001). Introperative hemodynamic changes were comparable and none of the patient suffered from respiratory depression except very little cases of shivering which are not significant. Conclusions: Intrathecal clonidine as adjuvant to bupivacaine provided was clinically more effective than nalbuphine for prolonging the duration of analgesia for gynecological procedures.

 Background: The aim of our study was to compare sensory and motor block characteristics and hemodynamic changes following intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine (0.5%) and isobaric levobupivacaine (0.5%) in elective lower limb and lower abdominal surgeries.Methods: 60 patients of either sex, aged 18-60 years, ASA grade I or II scheduled for elective lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries were randomized into two groups, group B (n=30) and group L (n=30) and received either 3 ml of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine or isobaric levobupivacaine intrathecally.Results: The mean time of onset of sensory block at shin of tibia in both the groups was comparable i.e. levobupivacaine (1.19±0.2 minutes) and bupivacaine (1.1+0.2 minutes). The mean time for total duration of sensory block was 211.1±8.2 minutes in group L, while 193.13±13.7 minutes in group B. Time for total duration of motor block in group L was 198.76±8.428 minutes and in group B was 182.6±13.989 minutes. Statistically significant difference was observed in total duration of sensory and motor block in both levobupivaciane and bupivacaine group (p<0.0001). Patients in group L were hemodynamically more stable with significantly less decrease in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure as compared to group B.Conclusions: We observed that 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine provided better hemodynamic stability, longer duration of sensory and motor block as compared to bupivacaine.

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: Subarachnoid block is the preferred anesthesia for cesarean section, being simple to perform and economical with rapid onset. This study aims to compare the postoperative analgesia of intrathecal nalbuphine and fentanyl as adjuvants to bupivacaine in cesarean section. Methods: A prospective, randomized, double?blind, and comparative study was conducted on 120 patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II. These patients were randomized into three groups with fifty patients in each group. Group A received 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.4 ml nalbuphine (0.8 mg), Group B received 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.4 ml fentanyl (20 ?g), and Group B received 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg) plus 0.4 ml of normal saline. Results: The mean duration of sensory block was 107.32 ± 5.36 min in Group A, 111.23 ± 4.23 min in Group B, and 85.69 ± 2.31 min in Group C. The mean duration of motor block (time required for motor block to return to Bromage’s Grade 1 from the time of onset of motor block) was 152.02 ± 3.12 min in Group A, 151.69± 2.36 min in Group B, and 122.12 ± 2.32 min in Group C. Conclusion: We concluded that intrathecal nalbuphine prolongs postoperative analgesia maximally and may be used as an alternative to intrathecal fentanyl in cesarean section. Keywords: Nalbuphine, Bupivacaine, Fentanyl.

Background: Saddle spinal block is the first choice anesthetic technique for adults undergoing peri-anal surgeries. It prevents unnecessary high levels of analgesia and sympathetic block. However, it may not provide prolonged analgesia. This study aims to investigate analgesic effects of dexmedetomidine when added to hyperbaric bupivacaine in saddle spinal block.Methods: Fifty otherwise healthy adults scheduled for uncomplicated peri-anal surgery were randomly allocated into two equal groups in this double-blinded study. Group A received hyperbaric bupivacaine five milligrams; group B received hyperbaric bupivacaine five milligrams plus dexmedetomidine five micrograms intrathecally. Patients remained seated for ten minutes. Time to first analgesic request by patients was the primary end point. Onset and extent of sensory block, and, magnitude and duration of motor block were assessed. Post-operative analgesic consumption and side effects were studied for 24 hours. Student’s t-test for quantitative variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables were used for statistical analysis.Results: Patients in group B had a significantly prolonged duration of analgesia (group B, 501 ± 306 minutes; group A, 284 ± 58 minutes) and significantly reduced analgesic requirement than patients in group A. Sensory block in first sacral dermatome appeared significantly earlier in group B. Peak sensory block, magnitude of motor block, and side effects were not significantly different between groups A and B.Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine as an intrathecal adjuvant to hyperbaric bupivacaine in saddle spinal block prolongs duration of analgesia and decreases analgesic requirement with no added side effects.

Background: Spinal anesthesia is a reliable and safe technique for infra-umbilical surgeries. Preservative-free 2-chloroprocaine has re-emerged for use in spinal anesthesia. We compared onset and duration of sensory block with intrathecal use of 1% 2-chloroprocaine (30 mg) or 0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine (15 mg) as primary objective. Secondary objectives being onset and duration of motor block, duration of analgesia, time to return of voiding function, hemodynamic parameters and side effects.Methodology: 90 patients of age group 18-60 years, either sex, belonging to ASA physical status I/II undergoing infra-umbilical surgeries were randomly divided into two groups, 1% 2-chloroprocaine Group A (n=45) and 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine Group B (n=45). Each group received intrathecally either 30 mg of 2-chloroprocaine or 15 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine 15 mg. For statistical analysis unpaired-t-test and chi-square test were used.Results: Earlier onset and shorter duration of sensory block were observed in Group A as compared to Group B respectively (p < 0.001). Similarly, onset was earlier and duration of motor block, duration of analgesia and time to return of voiding function were shorter in Group A as compared to Group B respectively (p < 0.001). Hemodynamic parameters (HR, MAP) were comparable in both groups.Conclusion: Intrathecal 1% 2-chloroprocaine 30 mg provides spinal anesthesia of adequate duration for infra-umbilical surgeries with the advantage of earlier onset and faster regression of spinal block resulting in earlier voiding with stable hemodynamics as compared to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 15 mg.Citation: Khare A, Thada B, Yadav D, Mathur V, Singh M.
