Introduction: Subarachnoid block is commonly employed technique for lower abdominal and
lower limb procedures. Bupivacaine and ropivacaine are commonly used local anesthetics …

Purpose We hypothesized that cooling hyperbaric bupivacaine from 23 to 5° C may limit the
intrathecal spread of bupivacaine and therefore increase the success rate of unilateral …

Background and objective: The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of low dose vs.
varying doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia for endoscopic urological …

Introduction: Density of local anesthetic is an important determining factor for the distribution,
duration and degree of the block achieved in spinal anaesthesia, with small changes …

Introduction: Hip fracture is a frequent and severe disease. Its prognosis depends on the
perioperative hemodynamic stability which can be preserved by the unilateral spinal …

Background: Ropivacaine 15 mg is found to be equivalent to 10 mg bupivacaine for knee
surgery in terms of hemodynamic stability and degree of motor blockade under spinal …

Background The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of
unilateral spinal anaesthesia and to compare this technique to the commonly used bilateral …

Methods: This prospective study was conduced over a 24-month period, enrolling eighty
patients (ASA groups I, II, III) randomly divided into four groups. The study solution [5mg of o …

Materials and Methods: We studied 90 ASA I and II patients who were undergoing inguinal
hernia repair. They were randomly allocated into three groups (n30) to receive either 8 mg of …

Objective To determine the characteristic profiles of 2 hypobaric spinal anesthetic solutions
for selective spinal anesthesia in inguinal herniorrhaphy. Methods The study took place in …
