Comparative Study of Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine in Lumber Epidural Lower Limb Bypass Surgery
Summary
Regional anaesthesia is an important part in clinical anaesthesiology now a day. Epidural block is a commonly used regional technique alternative for general anaesthesia in case of lower limb bypass surgery. Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine both are amide local anaesthetics. This study was to compare the efficacy of 0.5% Bupivacaine with 0.5% Ropivacaine in lumber epidural block for lower limb bypass surgery. The aim of the study was to compare the hemodynamic changes and adverse effects between the two groups and the onset of sensory and motor blockade in lower limb bypass surgery. Material and method: Sixty(60) patients with American Society of Anaesthesiologists class II/III scheduled for elective lower limb bypass surgeries were randomly allocated into two groups .Group B received 0.5% Bupivacaine, and group R received 0.5% Ropivacaine for epidural anaesthesia at the level of L4 \& L5. The onset of sensory and motor block and adverse events during the peroperative period were noted.
