A Randomised Controlled Study Comparing Intrathecal Hyperbaric Bupivacaine And Isobaric Bupivacaine In Common Urological Procedures

Study on Comparing Intrathecal Hyperbaric Bupivacaine and Isobaric Bupivacaine In Common Surgical Procedures without Adjunct

Intrathecal bupivacaine in humans: influence of volume and baricity of solutions.

BACKGROUND The effects of volume and baricity of spinal bupivacaine on block onset, height, duration, and hemodynamics were studied. METHODS Ninety patients undergoing endoscopic urologic procedures were randomized to receive 10 mg of intrathecal bupivacaine at L2-L3 level in sitting position. In the operating room, commercial products were diluted as needed with NaCl 0.9% to obtain isobaric ...

Comparative study of fentanyl and morphine in addition to hyperbaric or isobaric bupivacaine in combined spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section

INTRODUCTION The aim of our study was to compare the effects of isobaric and hyperbaric bupivacaine combined with morphine or fentanyl in patients undergoing caesarean section. We assessed quality and spread of analgesia and anaesthesia, postoperative analgesic requirement and side effects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Hundred patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA) ...

Spinal Anaesthesia for Endoscopic Urological Surgery: A Comparison of 2% Hyperbaric Prilocaine with 0,5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine

Background and aims: Hyperbaric prilocaine is a short-acting local anaesthetic. The aim of this study is to compare the characteristics of subarachnoid block using hyperbaric prilocaine with that of bupivacaine in outpatients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder (T.U.R.B.). Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, 60 patients undergoing endoscopic urological surgery re...

Intrathecal hyperbaric versus isobaric bupivacaine for adult non-caesarean-section surgery: systematic review protocol

INTRODUCTION Bupivacaine is the most commonly used local anaesthetic for spinal anaesthesia (SA). There are two forms of commercially available bupivacaine; isobaric bupivacaine (IB): a formulation with a specific gravity or density equal to cerebrospinal fluid, and hyperbaric bupivacaine (HB): a formulation with density heavier than cerebrospinal fluid. The difference in densities of the two a...
