Heavy Bupivacaine Versus Plain Bupivacaine in Peribulbar Block
Description:
Peribulbar anesthesia is widely practiced now as a safe local block for cataract eye
surgeries. However, the limited duration of these blocks was shown to be the main problem
encountered intra-operatively. Therefore, additional top-up doses are usually needed to
continue the operation. Many kinds of research tried to introduce solutions in order to
prolong the duration of the local anesthetics used. Many researchers tried different volumes,
doses and adjuvant to local anesthetics, and studied their effects There are many studies
that evaluated the effect of baricity of local anesthetic on the potency of motor block and
the duration of motor and sensory blockade.
However, no properly designed randomized, controlled studies have evaluated the feasibility
and reliability of baricity local anesthetic agents used for the peribulbar block.
Aim of the work prospective, randomized study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the
baricitized bupivacaine used for the peribulbar block in patients undergoing posterior
segment surgeries.
