“…Besides fentanyl, other drugs like clonidine and dexmedetomidine have also been studied in many trials to see the quality of spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine in premixed and separate syringe sequential administration technique and found that separate administration of adjuvants with bupivacaine have beter haemodynamic and analgesic outcome 6,14 which is similar to our study.…”

Spinal anaesthesia using hyperbaric bupivacaine is the most popular method for caesarean section. Adjuvents like fentanyl which enhances the sensory block and provide stable haemodynamics are usually premixed with bupivacaine in a single syringe. Fentanyl when added to hyperbaric bupivacaine, decreases the density of solution to extent of 0.0006 which alters the spread of local anesthetics in CSF. If we inject both the drugs separately in different syringe, it may minimize the effect of the changes in densities and PH of both the drugs and produce their maximum effect with minimal haemodynamic alteration. Therefore this study was conducted to see the quality of sensory block and haemodynamic response by sequential intrathecal administration of fentanyl and hyperbaric bupivacaine in two different syringe for patients undergoing caesarian section. This interventional study was carried out in Seventy nine Patients undergoing caesarean section under spinal anesthesia with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 9mg (1.8 ml) and fentanyl 20 mcg in two different syringe administered sequentially. Out of 79 parturients only 22 (27.85%) had hypotension requiring vasopressor treatment during caesarean section and maximum amount of vasopressor used was 15 mg of mephentermine. The mean level of maximum sensory block after 20 mins of spinal anaesthesia was T2 in 20 (25.32%) patients, T3 in 19 (24.05%) patients, T4 in 32 (40.51%) patients, T5 in 1 (1.27%) patient and T6 in 7 (8.86%) Patients. Intraoperative quality of surgical anaesthesia was very satisfactory to the patients. Only 6 (7.59%) patients had mild discomfort whithout requirement of any medical treatment. The result of this study concluded that separate intrathecal injection of fentanyl and hyperbaric bupivacaine provides better haemodynamic stability, improves quality of surgical anaethesia allowing it to work at higher levels in the spinal cord with minimal other side effects in patient undergoing caesarean section.

“…Several studies have explored intrathecal nonopioids as novel alternatives, such as α 2 -adrenergic receptor agonists [ 21 ] and neostigmine [ 22 ]. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α 2 -adrenergic receptor agonist that has sedative, analgesic, anxiolytic, sympatholytic, amnestic, anti-shivering, and opioid-sparing effects [ 23 ].…”

Background Intrathecal dexmedetomidine, as an adjuvant to local anesthetics, has been reported to improve the quality of spinal anesthesia and reduce the required local anesthetic dose. However, the optimal dosage regimen for intrathecal dexmedetomidine combined with plain ropivacaine for cesarean section (CS) remains undetermined. The present study aimed to determine the median effective dose (ED50) of intrathecal dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to plain ropivacaine for spinal anesthesia during CS. Methods Sixty parturients undergoing CS were randomly assigned to either group: plain ropivacaine 8 mg (Group Rop8) or plain ropivacaine 10 mg (Group Rop10). The initial dosage of intrathecal dexmedetomidine in each group was 5 µg. The effective dose was defined as a bilateral sensory block at the level of T6 or above to pinprick attained within 10 min after intrathecal injection, without the need for supplementary intraoperative epidural anesthesia. Effective or ineffective responses were determined, followed by a 1 µg increment or decrement in the dose of intrathecal dexmedetomidine for the next parturient using up-down sequential allocation. ED50 were calculated using probit regression. Results The ED50 of intrathecal dexmedetomidine with plain ropivacaine was 5.9 µg (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.9–7.4 µg) in Group Rop8 and 3.1 µg (95% CI, 0.1–4.8 µg) in Group Rop10 (P < 0.05). Hemodynamic stability, side effects, patient satisfaction and neonatal outcomes were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions The present data suggested that the ED50 of intrathecal dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to 8 mg and 10 mg plain ropivacaine in spinal anesthesia during cesarean section was approximately 6 µg and 3 µg, respectively.
