Sequential Intrathecal Injection of Fentanyl and Hyperbaric Bupivacaine at Different Rates; Does it Make Difference?
Description:
56 ASA physical status I, II Parturients, aged 18-40 year, undergoing elective CS were
randomly assigned to receive sequential intrathecal injection of fentanyl and hyperbaric
bupivacaine at the same rate through a 5ml syringe each (NS (normal sequential), n 28) or a
rapid intrathecal injection of fentanyl through an insuline syringe followed by slow
injection of hyperbaric bupivacaine through a 5ml syringe RS (rapid sequential), n 28). Onset
of sensory block (T6 level), highest level of sensory block, time of first rescue analgesia,
Dose of rescue analgesics, degree of postoperative pain by VAS 6H postoperative, Onset of
motor block (Bromage scale0>3), duration of motor block (return to Bromage 0), incidence of
hypotension, hypotension duration, ephedrine dose, spinal anaesthesia related complications
