| Popis: | Background: To compare proportion of the patients with attainment of sensory level T4, at 5 and 10 min supine, and after 10 min prone amongst patients receiving 22.5 mg bupivacaine with those receiving 30 mg. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial patients (n=60), undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy, were included. It was done to compare the achievement of sensory level T4 during PCNL after spinal anaesthesia with two doses of bupivacaine before and after positioning patients in prone position. Patients were grouped into: Group A (22.5 mg hyperbaric Bupivacaine 0.75%) versus Group B (30 mg hyperbaric Bupivacaine 0.75%) consisting 30 patients each. Spinal anaesthesia was performed while sitting. Sensory level was checked using ice-cube in mid-axillary line while patients were positioned supine and prone. Results: Number of patients with T4 level at 5 min and 10 min supine in Group B was much higher than in Group A (p |
