Clinical Trial Summary

Intrathecal (i.t.) administration of isobaric bupivacaine, ropivacaine and levobupivacaine with addition of fentanyl for c-section either combined or not with administration of 10 ml of N/S 0,9% epidurally, in order to extent epidural space.Sensory and motor block profile, haemodynamics and side effects were assessed.


Clinical Trial Description

Parturients scheduled for elective caesarean section are randomly allocated to 6 groups: they receive double-blindly intrathecal isobaric bupivacaine 10 mg ( Group B), ropivacaine 15mg (Group R) , levobupivacaine 10mg (Group L) combined with 10 μg fentanyl and followed by epidural administration of 10 ml of N/S 0,9% respectively, and isobaric bupivacaine 10 mg ( Group BupivacaineF), ropivacaine 15mg (Group RopivacaineF) , and levobupivacaine 10mg (Group LevobupivacaineF) combined with 10 μg fentanyl without epidural administration of 10 ml of N/S 0,9%. Clinical endpoints are the sensory and motor block profile, haemodynamics (arterial pressure, heart rate) and side effects. ;
