Sequential intrathecal injection of fentanyl and hyperbaric bupivacaine at different rates: does it make a difference? A randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background Previous studies have shown that sequential intrathecal injection of fentanyl and hyperbaric bupivacaine for cesarean section (CS) anesthesia provides a superior anesthetic effect than use of bupivacaine alone, and prolongs postoperative ...

Transient neurologic symptoms following spinal anesthesia with isobaric mepivacaine: A decade of experience at Toronto Western Hospital [PDF]
Background: Transient neurologic symptoms (TNSs) can be distressing for patients and providers following uneventful spinal anesthesia. Spinal mepivacaine may be less commonly associated with TNS than lidocaine; however, reported rates of TNS with ...

The effects of spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section on uterine and umbilical arterial pulsatility indexes in normotensive and chronic hypertensive pregnant women: a prospective, longitudinal study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Despite the known effects of neuraxial blockade on major vessel function and the rapid decrease in uterine vascular impedance, it is unclear how the blockade affects the utero-placental circulation in the near-term.

Comparison of Equivalent Doses of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Levo-bupivacaine and Hyperbaric Bupivacaine for Caesarean Section: A Prospective Randomised Double-Blind Study [PDF]
Introduction: Subarachnoid Block (SAB) with Hyperbaric Bupivacaine (HB) is the most common anaesthetic technique for Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS). Levo-bupivacaine, an enantiomer of racemic bupivacaine, has been developed to provide anaesthesia

Hemodynamic and analgesic effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine with low dose hyperbaric bupivacaine in spinal anaesthesia, caesarean section: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Objectives: Hypotension is the major side effect of spinal anaesthesia during caesarean section. Since the adverse effects are dosage-dependent, various methods have been tried to prevent spinal anaesthesia induced complications, such as lowering the ...

Background: Sufentanil added to intrathecal bupivacaine for cesarean section has shown to improve intraoperative and postoperative analgesia without any adverse effects to the mother and neonate. In the present study we compare the effects of intrathecal sufentanil 5 µg and 8 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with intrathecal 10 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric

Spinal Anesthesia with Hyperbaric Bupivacaine
The effect of adding 0.2 ml of 1:1000 epinephrine or 0.5 ml of 1% phenylephrine to 3 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine in 8% dextrose for spinal anesthesia was assessed in 30 patients in a double-blind study. The addition of phenylephrine gave a small prolongation of the block which was not statistically significant.

Plain or Hyperbaric Bupivacaine for Spinal Anesthesia
Three ml of bupivacaine 0.5%, either plain or in 8% glucose, was injected intrathecally in three groups of twenty patients. Group 1 received bupivacaine 0.5% plain; group 2 received bupivacaine 0.5% in 8% glucose. Patients in groups 1 and 2 were kept sitting for 3 min after injection. Patients in group 3 received bupivacaine 0.5% in 8% glucose and were
