Comparative evaluation of intrathecal preservative free isobaric 0.5% ropivacaine with isobaric 0.5% bupivacaine in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries

Efficacy and Appropriate Dosage of Isobaric Ropivacaine for Spinal Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Elective Lower Limb Orthopaedic Surgeries

Background: The dose response of ropivacaine has not been extensively determined yet. This study was conducted to estimate minimum effective local anaesthetic dose and to assess the duration of sensory and motor block, and side effects if any, of intrathecal administration of ropivacaine for lower limb surgeries. Materials and Methods: 120 patients aged between 20 years and 60 years of either s...

Intrathecal 0.75% Isobaric Ropivacaine Versus 0.5% Heavy Bupivacaine for Elective Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

OBJECTIVE: Ropivacaine, a local anesthetic with duration of action of 2-3 hours, has shown greater selectivity for sensory blockade along with lower systemic toxicity as compared to bupivacaine when used for spinal anesthesia. This study was aimed to compare the intrathecal efficacy and safety of 0.75% isobaric ropivacaine for cesarean delivery with 0.5% heavy bupivacaine in parturients. MATERI...

Haemodynamic Comparison of Intrathecal Hyperbaric 0.5% Bupivacaine 2ml(10mg) with Isobaric 0.75% Ropivacaine 2ml(15mg) with Fentanyl 20μg as Adjuvent in Geriatric Patients undergoing Major Lower Limb Orthopedic Surgery

Aims and Objectives: Spinal anaesthesia is the most commonly used method of anaesthesia and analgesia in lower limb surgeries. In elderly patients spinal anaesthesia causes more sympatholysis and hemodynamic disturbances than young patients. So low dose of local anaesthetic is preferred which may occasionally cause failure of spinal anaesthesia .Therefore, different adjuvents are added to achie...
