A research study conducted in Maharashtra, India compared the efficacy and safety of two different types of anesthesia, intrathecal 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine and intrathecal 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine, in patients undergoing elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). The study found that both types of anesthesia were comparable in terms of sensory blockade duration, hemodynamics, and postoperative pain relief. However, the use of 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine resulted in faster attainment of desired sensory levels and early recovery from motor blockade, allowing for early ambulation. The researchers concluded that 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine can be considered a safe and effective alternative to bupivacaine in elective LSCS. [Extracted from the article] |
