A Comparative Study on Efficacy of Intrathecal Bupivacaine Heavy with Fentanyl and Intrathecal Levobupivacaine Heavy with Fentanyl for Lower Limb and Lower Abdominal Surgeries

Introduction: A study comparing the anaesthetic effect of hyperbaric bupivacaine with fentanyl and hyperbaric levobupivacaine with fentanyl for lower limb and lower abdominal surgeries was conducted. Methods: A study involving 100 patients underwent lower limb and abdominal surgeries, divided into two groups (A and B) and administered hyperbaric bupivacaine with fentanyl or levobupivacaine with fentanyl. Results: Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in hemodynamic parameters or side effects between the two groups, but significant differences in sensory block onset, motor block duration, and TTFR. Conclusion: Statistical analysis reveals Bupivacaine with fentanyl and Levobupivacaine plus fentanyl provide adequate spinal block for lower limb and abdominal surgeries, with Hyperbaric Bupivacaine providing longer duration of spinal anesthesia.
