COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF INTRATHECAL, EPIDURAL AND INTRAVENOUS BOLUS SUFENTANIL FOR POST OPERATIVE ANALGESIA IN LOWER LIMB SURGERY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 48
Abstract
In clinical experience sufentanil is more effective when given epidurally than intrathecally and intravenously. To test this hypothesis we compare the analgesic characteristic of 10µgm of epidural, intrathecal and intravenous single shot sufentanil for pain relieve after elective lower limb surgeries. A randomized double blind trial was conducted on 60 patients who were under- going elective lower limb surgery in epidural anesthesia with bupivacaine. In recovery room as soon as pain score higher than 3 on the scale of 10 on visual analogue score was reported 10µgm intravenous, intrathecal and epidural was given respectively. We concluded that epidural sufentanil is better as compared to intrathecal and intravenous in terms of duration of pain relief, vital complications and side effects for post-operative pain relief.
