In contrast, significant side effects such as arterial hypotension and respiratory depression Abstract Background: During the Rachianesthesia, many substances including opioids, are administered intrathecally as adjuvants of local anesthetics. The aims, was to compare the efficacy of spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine 10 mg plus sufentanyl 2,5 versus 5 micrograms during caesarean section. Methods: This is a descriptive, comparative and retrospective study conducted in the operating room of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the University Hospital of Treichville from April 2017 to March 2018. Were included in the study, 80 patients classified ASA I and II who underwent spinal anesthesia for cesarean section either with the combination of bupivacaine 10 mg + sufentanyl 2.5 g (Group I, n = 37) or Bupivacaine 10 mg + sufentanyl 5 μg (Group II, n = 43). Our primary evaluation criteria were: duration of sensory and motor block, ephedrine consumption, and incidence of side effects peropeatively. Comparisons were made using the Chi 2 test, with a threshold of p ≤ 0.05 considered significant. Results: The criteria evaluated in our patients studied were comparable: age (p = 0.315), size (p = 0.43), duration of motor block (p = 0.616), duration of postoperative analgesia (p = 0.30), as well as pruritus (p = 0.69). The incidence of side effects such as: Hypotension (p = 0.00), somnolence (p = 0.000), nausea (p = 0.00) vomiting (p = 0.04), were higher in Group II than in Group I. The distribution of patients according to the consumption of ephedrine was: 0.32 ±1.97 (Gr I) vs 16.14 ± 7.29 (Gr II), with a significant stastiscal difference (p=0.000) Conclusions: Spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine 10 mg and sufentanyl 2.5 mcg provides satisfactory operating conditions and reduction of side effects compared to sufentanyl 5μg.
Unlike the third world countries, cardiotropic poisoning is a frequent reason for admission to intensive care in industrialized countries. Those with Nebivolol are poorly described in the literature. The authors report a case of Nebivolol poisoning following a therapeutic error. The clinical examination revealed arterial hypotension, a disorder of consciousness and seizures. The electrocardiogram showed QT prolongation. Treatment consisted of the administration of vasopressive amines, anticonvulsants and correction of fluid and electrolyte disorders. The evolution has been favorable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
