Comparison of hemodynamic stability of combined spinal anesthesia with low dose spinal anesthesia and epidural volume extension by saline as compared to epidural anaesthesia for patients undergoing elective lower limb surgery
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Administration of saline in epidural space following intrathecal drug administration constitutes Epidural Volume Extension. In our study we involved 40 patients who were planned to undergo elective lower limb surgery, who were randomized into two groups of 20 each. 20 patients in Group EV received low dose of spinal anesthesia with epidural volume extension by saline, and 20 patients in Group E received conventional epidural anesthesia. From our study it was seen that the patients in Group EV had quicker onset of sensory block, and stable hemodynamic parameters as compared to patients in Group E.

A randomized, prospective, comparative study to evaluate the haemodynamic changes of 3ml of 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine and 3ml of 0.5% isobaric ropivacaine for spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing elective lower limb orthopaedic surgeries
Background: Levobupivacaine and Ropivacaine have been recently introduced in India, Although levobupivacaine is theoretically more potent than ropivacaine, clinical studies show conflicting results in terms of anesthetic...
Study of intravenously administered dexmedetomidine on isoflurane requirement and perioperative haemodynamic stability in elective surgery
Background and Aims: In this study we observe the effect of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to general anesthesia on cardiovascular response to intubation and extubation, hemodynamic stability, requirement of Isoflurane c...
A randomized, prospective, comparative study to evaluate the motor blockade properties of 3ml of 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine and 3ml of 0.5% isobaric ropivacaine for spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing elective lower limb orthopaedic surgeries
Background: Levobupivacaine is S (-) enantiomer of bupivacaine. It is somewhat less cardiotoxic than the racemic bupivacaine. It seems to be an attractive alternative to Bupivacaine. Ropivacaine is a long acting regional...
