Comparison of Levobupivacaine and Fentanyl with Levobupivacaine in Patients undergoing Surgeries Under Spinal Anaesthesia
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Aims & Objective: We experimented the comparison of levobupivacaine & fentanyl with levobupivacaine in spinal anaesthesia in lower abdominal surgeries. A total of 80 patients of ASA grade I, aged 18-60 yrs of either sex scheduled for lower abdominal surgeries were divided into 2 equal groups in a randomized pattern. Patients in group LF (n =40), received 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine 7.5mg (1.5ml) + fentanyl 25ug(0.5ml) +Normal saline (0.5ml) and in group L (n = 40), received 0.5% levobupivacaine 10mg (2ml) + Normal saline (0.5 ml) intrathecally. The onset and duration of sensory and motor block, time to achieve maximum sensory & motor level, time to regression of sensory level, duration of analgesia, & time of ambulation were analyzed in both groups. Statistical analysis done with SPSS 17 software and p value <0.05 taken as significant. The mean time of onset of sensory & motor blockade were 2.65±.95 min and 3.68±.73 min in group LF and 2.55±.90 min &3.75 ± .67 in group L respectively. Maximum level of sensory block achieved in group LF. Time to 2 Segment Regression Level was more in group L as compared to group LF. The durations of motor block were 162.75 ± 15.02 and 185.25 ± 11.54 min respectively in group LF and group L. The duration of analgesia was 161.00 ± 15.49 min in group LF compared to 135.75 ± 15.55 min in group L (p < 0.001). Time of ambulation was 252.00 ± 23.34 and 315 ± 20.38 min respectively in group LD. There was statistically significant difference present in duration of motor blockade and analgesia and time of ambulation between 2 groups. Addition of fentanyl in spinal block with low dose levobupivaicane increase the duration of motor block with prolonged duration of analgesia and reduce ambulation time.
