Background: For performing inguinal hernia surgeries, giving spinal anesthesia is a well
known technique as it easy and provides fast onset, effective sensory and motor blockade in …

Materials and Methods: 40 ASA I-III patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair randomly
received unilateral (n= 20) or bilateral (n= 20) spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric …

Introduction: Unilateral spinal anaesthesia can be used for inguinal hernia surgery. The
advantage is that it provides a stronger block on the side of surgery, accelerated recovery of …

Objectives: Intrathecal fentanyl and clonidine are effective analgesics with different
mechanisms of action. This study compares 25 µg of both these drugs given intrathecally …

Background: There are many adjuvant used along with bupivacaine for subarachnoid block,
but fentanyl and clonidine are commonly used as adjuvant to intrathecal bupivacaine for …

BACKGROUND: Hyperbaric bupivacaine has been the gold standard drug for the safe
conduct of spinal anaesthesia. It offers duration of 1.5 to 2.5 hours of anaesthesia and …

IMPLICATIONS: Comparing spinal block produced with 8 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine
0.5%, 8 mg of hyperbaric levobupivacaine 0.5%, and 12 mg of hyperbaric ropivacaine 0.5 …

Methods Adult patients were randomised to spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric articaine 84
mg (group A, n= 40) or hyperbaric bupivacaine 7 mg along with fentanyl 10 μg (group B+ F …

Background: Clonidine is added to intrathecal local anesthetics to improve intraoperative
analgesia and to increase the duration of sensory and motor block. Aim of this study was to …

Spinal anaesthesia is still the most commonly used technique for gynaecological surgeries
as it is economical and easy to administer. Its main drawback is the short duration of action …
