Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized double-blind study aimed to compare the effects of two different subaracnoid lokal anesthetic injection rate in cesarean section. Totally 67 patients were included. The groups were compared in terms of maximum sensory and motor block level, time to reach T6 level, hemodynamic changes and nausea- vomiting saved.

Description:

A total of 67 patients 18-40 years undergoing cesarean, who were graded as American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status were randomly allocated into two groups, 120-sn injection time (n=34, Group F), 15-sn injection time (n=33, Group S). When the level of the sensory block achieve the T6 level the surgery was let to begin. The groups were compared in terms of hemodynamic values, use of efedrin, the time to achieve sensory block to the T6 level, maximum sensory block level and motor block level.
