Bupivacaína racêmica, levobupivacaína e ropivacaína em anestesia loco-regional para oftalmologia: um estudo comparativo

Abstract: Considering the advanced age of most of these patients and the high concentrations of local anesthetics used in peribulbar blockade, the use of ropivacaine and levobupivacaine produces motor blockade as effective as racemic bupivacaine while minimising risks for cardiotoxicity.

“…The short latency for maximal motor blockade in both groups in the present study is in accord to the report of previous works 15,49 . Peribulbar anesthesia can cause a temporary increase in the intraocular pressure due to the compressive effect of anesthetic solution on the eye and increase in intraorbital pressure.…”

“…A small increase, between 13 mmHg and 15.6 mmHg was observed without clinical significance, since the levels remained within normal limits. This increase, followed by a reduction of the intraocular pressure in bupivacaine group, is in agreement with other reports in the literature 15,50 . In ropivacaine group, a significant reduction or even a tendency towards stabilization of intraocular pressure was observed with values around 13 mmHg in all measurements.…”

“…As the period of action of a local anesthetic is characterized by the contact time of this anesthetic with the nerve (GREENE, 2002) and the volume and concentration used (MAMA;STEFFEY, 2003;MAGALHÃES;GOVÊIA;OLIVEIRA, 2004), we infer that branches from the facial nerve that address the secretory function of the lacrimal gland would be less subject to the action of anesthetics compared to those responsible for the sensory part of the cornea. In any event, the innervation of the lacrimal gland is not completely understood, and it is known that other nerve branches are involved in its function (SLATTER, 2005;SAMUELSON, 2007), as well as the third eyelid gland which also helps with tear production, although to a lesser extent (SLATTER, 2005;GIULIANO;MOORE, 2007).…”
