Abstract

Background: Compare the clinical efficacy and safety of intrathecal isobaric ropivacaine 0.75% with fentanyl, 10 mcg vs isobaric ropivacaine 0.75% alone for caesarean section.

Methods: Two hundred patients were considered eligible for the study of which one hundred and sixty-eight patients undergoing caesarean section under spinal anesthesia and were included in the study. Parturient to ASA physical status I-II scheduled for caesarean section were randomly selected for the study and are divided into group of 84 each.

Results: There was significant difference in sensory block duration at T10 (min) and total duration of analgesia (min) in both groups. This difference between two group’s was not significant. Adverse Effects in group RF 5 (5.9%) patients had hypotension and 2 (2.3%) bradycardias in group R 3 (3.5%) patient had hypotension.

Conclusions: Hemodynamic parameters were comparable in both the groups. Total duration of analgesia and sensory block duration at T10 was significantly shorter with ropivacaine (with saline) compared to ropivacaine with fentanyl.
