Effect of Body-mass Index (BMI) on Median Effective Dose of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Bupivacaine
RandomizedParallel-groupDouble-blind
Summary
The effect of Body-mass index (BMI) on requirements of local anesthetics used in spinal anesthesia has not been well established. The investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on spinal anesthesia by comparing the median effective dose of intrathecal bupivacaine between two different BMI groups.
