Comparative study of intrathecal isobaric levobupivacaine 0.5% with isobaric ropivacaine 0.5% for infra umbilical surgeries
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: To compare the block characteristics and haemodynamic stability of intrathecal isobaric levobupivacaine 0.5% with isobaric ropivacaine 0.5% for infra umbilical surgeries under spinal anaesthesia. Method: 100 patients of ASAI and ASAII coming for elective infra umbilical surgeries under spinal anaesthesia were randomly allocated to two groups with 50 patients in each group. Group L received isobaric levobupivacaine 0.5% and Group R received isobaric ropivacaine 0.5%. Sensory and motor characteristics were assessed by pin prick and modified Bromage scale respectively an observed haemodynamics were recorded. Results: The onset of sensory and motor block was faster in Group L compared to the Group R. The duration of sensory and motor block was found to be significantly long in Group L compared to Group R. Conclusion: The onset of sensory and motor block was shorter and duration of sensory and motor block was longer in levobupivacaine group and side effects like hypotension, bradycardia, same compared to the ropivacaine group, The isobaric levobupivacaine can be good alternative to isobaric ropivacaine.
