Background: Spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine provides a dense neural block in cesarean delivery but associated with side effects like hypotension, bradycardia nausea and vomiting. Addition of low dose fentanyl with low dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine may decrease the in­cidence of these complications. The aims of study was to compare the hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure and heart rate), nausea and vomiting with low dose intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine with fentanyl vs a conventional dose of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine in patient undergoing elective cesarean section. Methods: Seventy-four pregnant women aged 20-35 years old which un­derwent elective cesarean section at Chitwan Medical College were ran­domized into two groups. One group received spinal anesthesia with 8mg of0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine and 25μg fentanyl and another group re­ceived 12mg 0.5% bupivacaine. Results: The mean age, baseline heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were comparable in both groups. Significant difference in hypo­tension (24.31% vs. 62.16%, p<0.05) and Nausea and vomiting (16.20% vs. 27%, p<0.05) were found in bupivacaine-fentanyl group versus a conven­tional dose of spinal bupivacaine group. Conclusions: Low dose of bupivacaine with Fentanyl provides good spinal anesthesia for cesarean section with less hypotension, nausea and vomit­ing in comparison to bupivacaine alone.

Abstract Background Spinal anesthesia is the most popular procedure in the field of anesthesiology. Subarachnoid block is the preferred anesthetic technique for cesarean section, being simple to perform and economical with rapid onset. Lower incidence of failed block, less drug doses, minimal neonatal depression and decreased incidence of aspiration pneumonitis are added advantages of spinal anesthesia. Objectives The study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of Fentanyl versus Nalbuphine when used with intrathecal injection of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean section as the primary objective and compare intraoperative hemodynamic changes and postoperative pruritus and shivering as the secondary objectives. Methods and material After Approval was obtained from the research ethics committee of faculty of medicine, Ain Shams University and after obtaining a written informed consent. Fifty adult females underwent elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia, their ages ranged between 18-45 years old and classified as ASA I and II were enrolled in the study at obstetrics and gynecology Ain Shams university hospital over 4 months. The patients were randomly divided using computer generated randomization into two groups 25patients in each (n = 25), Group A received intrathecal injection of 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine plus 0.5 ml fentanyl (25 μg); Group B received intrathecal injection of 2 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine plus 0.5 ml nalbuphine (0.8 mg) Results The main significant findings in this study was that fentanyl has a more rapid onset of motor block (5.63±0.25 minute in fentanyl group versus 5.88±0.19 minute in nalbuphine group), while nalbuphine produces less perioperative side effects as: shivering (7 patients in fentanyl group versus 1 patient in nalbuphine group), pruritis (6 patients in fentanyl group versus 1 patient in nalbuphine group), nausea and vomiting (5 patients in fentanyl group versus 1 patient in nalbuphine group). Regarding perioperative hemodynamic parameters and postoperative analgesia, they were comparable between the 2 groups. Conclusions We concluded that either intrathecal nalbuphine (0.8 mg) combined with (10 mg) Bupivacaine or intrathecal fentanyl (25 µg) combined with (10 mg) Bupivacaine improves intraoperative analgesia and prolongs early postoperative analgesia in cesarean section with significantly lower incidence of side effects as shivering, pruritis, nausea and vomiting in Nalbuphine.

Background: Several methods have been used to prevent post spinal hypotension including preloading, co-loading, use of vasopressors, placement of pelvic wedge, lumbar wedge and tilting of operating table in parturients undergoing cesarean section. We conducted a randomized controlled study to determine the hemodynamic effects of a standard pelvic wedge placed below the right hip immediately after the spinal block till the delivery of baby. Methods: One hundred consenting women undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to wedge group (N=50) and control group (N=50). A standard wedge was placed under the right pelvis soon after spinal anesthesia till the delivery of baby in wedge group whereas the control group remained supine. Hemodynamic parameters including blood pressure, heart rate, vasopressor consumption, other side effects like nausea, vomiting and neonatal outcome were also recorded. Results: The incidence of hypotension and bradycardia was similar between groups (Wedge group 60% vs Control group 75.51%, p=0.125) before the birth of baby. The use of vasopressors (p=0.212), incidence of nausea (p=0.346) and Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes (p=0.629, p=0.442) were also not statistically significant. None of the patients had vomiting. Conclusion: In our study, the use of right pelvic wedge immediately after spinal anesthesia was not effective in preventing post spinal hypotension in elective cesarean section.
