Pharmacokinetics of 0.75% ropivacaine and 0.5% bupivacaine after ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block in children.
BACKGROUND Blockade of the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves is a useful procedure in paediatric patients undergoing inguinal surgery. Bupivacaine 2 mg kg-1 has been recommended for this block. We compared the plasma concentrations of ropivacaine and bupivacaine following an ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric block. METHODS Forty children scheduled for elective inguinal surgery were randomize...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of bupivacaine after stellate ganglion block using two volumes of 0.25% bupivacaine plain solution.
Plasma concentrations of bupivacaine were measured in patients after stellate ganglion block using either 10 or 20 ml of 0.25% plain solution. The mean peak concentrations were greater in the larger volume group, but this was not statistically significant. From 30 min after injection, there was a significantly greater plasma concentration in the larger volume group. The concentrations approache...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of bupivacaine after intercostal nerve block in patients after orthotopic liver transplantation.
Bilateral intercostal nerve blocks were performed on 12 occasions in 11 patients after liver transplantation. Group 1 (six patients) received bupivacaine 2 mg kg-1 on one occasion; in group 2 (five patients) bupivacaine 2 mg kg-1 with adrenaline 1:200,000 was injected on two occasions separated by 6 h. Arterial blood was sampled repeatedly and analysed for total bupivacaine concentrations by hi...
متن کاملEffect of adrenaline on plasma concentrations of bupivacaine following lower limb nerve block.
Twenty-two patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty received combined sciatic plus femoral "3 in 1" blocks as adjuncts to general anaesthesia. Eleven patients received 0.375% bupivacaine 45 ml (168.75 mg) with adrenaline 1 in 200,000 and the remaining 11 received plain solution according to a previously prepared, randomized list. The mean maximum plasma bupivacaine concentration was signific...
متن کاملBupivacaine 0.125% in epidural block analgesia during childbirth: maternal and foetal plasma concentrations.
The maternal plasma concentration of bupivacaine has been determined in 19 patients receiving a continuous epidural block during labour, using bupivacaine 0.125% with adrenaline 1:400,000. The plasma concentration of bupivacaine rarely exceeded 0.18 /*g/ml. Bupivacaine does not accumulate in the maternal blood when such low concentrations are used. The plasma concentration of bupivacaine has al...
