| description | Introduction: Ropivacaine, an amide local anaesthesia, often
considered safer alternative to bupivacaine. Bupivacaine,
a longer-acting agent that provides dense motor blockade,
is known to carry a higher risk of re-entrant arrhythmias and
cardiac depression with accidental intravascular injection. The
shorter duration of action, coupled with profound sensory block
and comparatively less side-effects, makes ropivacaine useful
in tackling cases of day care surgery.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of hyperbaric ropivacaine versus
bupivacaine for elective inguinal and perineal surgery under
spinal anaesthesia in terms of time of sensory and motor block,
time taken to reach peak T8 level sensory block, total duration
of both sensory and motor block, time of first micturition, and
any associated side-effects.
Materials and Methods: The present randomised double-blind
clinical study, was carried out in the Department of Anaesthesia, Dr.
D. Y Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre (tertiary
healthcare centre), Pune, Maharashtra, India, from March 2023 to
August 2023. Study involved 30 patients aged 18-60, classified
as American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grade I and II.
Patients were randomly assigned to group RH (receiving hyperbaric
ropivacaine) or group BH (receiving hyperbaric bupivacaine).
The study assessed for onset and duration of sensory block at
T-8 dermatome. The study also assessed motor block onset and
duration using modified Bromage scale, observing postoperative
micturition, intraoperative haemodynamic changes and adverse
effects. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 16.0,
with a p-value of <0.05 considered significant.
Results: Demographic profile in terms of age {Mean±Standard
Deviation (SD) in group RH: 42.93±14.73 years vs group BH:
39.06±11.94 years), gender distribution, type of surgery
performed and its duration (group RH: 85.67±39.5 minutes vs
group BH: 98.4±32.8 minutes) was not significant. The onset of
sensory block (2.09±0.69 min) and motor block (3.52±0.66 min),
the time taken to reach T8 level (3.40±0.93 min), was faster in the
hyperbaric ropivacaine group. Similarly, the duration of motor
block (261.93±73.21 min), time taken for the recession of the
sensory block to S2 (351.4±66.78 min), and the recession of the
motor block to Bromage scale 0 (291.93±64.93 min) were faster
in ropivacaine group. The time taken for the passage of first
micturition post-subarachnoid block was earlier (338.73±31.29
min) in ropivacaine group.
Conclusion: A 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine is more efficacious,
with faster onset of sensory and motor blockade, relatively
quick recovery profile, and an earlier time of first micturition in
comparison to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine. |
