A randomized double blind study to compare 1% 2-chloroprocaine and 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia for infra-umbilical surgeries

Abstract: Background: Spinal anesthesia is a reliable and safe technique for infra-umbilical surgeries. Preservative-free 2-chloroprocaine has re-emerged for use in spinal anesthesia. We compared onset and duration of sensory block with intrathecal use of 1% 2-chloroprocaine (30 mg) or 0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine (15 mg) as primary objective. Secondary objectives being onset and duration of motor block, duration of analgesia, time to return of voiding function, hemodynamic parameters and side effects.Methodology: 90 pat… Show more

“…No adverse event was reported among the groups. This is in accordance with the study reporting a 'zero' incidence with 2-chloroprocaine in over 4000 patients compared with 17-33% using lidocaine or 1% using bupivacaine [10][11][12]. Despite the fact that this study wasn't designed to measure health care costs in our rural area setup, our results could be significant when considered from a cost savings perspective.…”

“…The average time to ambulation was shorter (142.5 vs. 290.5min) in the chloroprocaine group as was the average time to complete regression of sensory block (105 vs. 225 min). Similar results were also reported by Kalra et al [1] and C. Camponovo et al [10] In a similar study by Lacasse et [8] where spinal anaesthesia was achieved with 2% preservative-free 2-chloroprocaine 40mg or 0.75%, hyperbaric bupivacaine 7.5 mg, time to ambulation was 225±56 minutes vs 265±65 minutes (P-value=0.001).…”

“…However, patients who received dexmedetomidine had increased mean RSS as compared to the control and dexamethasone group. Similarly higher sedation score in patients receiving dexmedetomidine as adjuvant was also reported in different studies [14,21,23].…”

“…Incidence of complications is more in blind TAP block technique than USG-guided TAP blocks. USG-guided drug administration allows accurate deposition of local anesthetic in the correct neurovascular plane and avoid procedure-related complications such as injury to surrounding viscera, transient femoral nerve palsy, and high volume of drug used which can cross the serum toxic levels [23][24][25].…”

“…Ambulatory anaesthesia offers various advantages, like reduced risk of nosocomial infections, cost reduction, and a short duration of hospital stay [ 2 ]. Spinal anaesthesia is the most convenient anaesthetic technique and is commonly used in surgeries below the umbilicus [ 3 ]. Its advantages over general anaesthesia are reduced stress response, rapidity in onset, post-operative pain relief, shorter hospital stay, and cost-effectiveness [ 4 ].…”
