ED<sub>50</sub> of intrathecal ropivacaine for cesarean delivery with and without epidural volume extension with normal saline: a randomized controlled study.

Abstract: BackgroundIt was reported that epidural volume extension could decrease the ED50 of intrathecal plain bupivacaine. In this study, we investigated the ED50 of intrathecal hyperbaric ropivacaine followed by epidural normal saline bolus for cesarean section.MethodsSixty parturients were allocated into two groups in this prospective study. About 10 mL of epidural normal saline was given after the intrathecal dose of hyperbaric ropivacaine in the Group S (normal saline group), and no epidural injection of normal sa… Show more

“…However, the minimum epidural saline volume that affects the level of sensory block under spinal anesthesia is 7.3 mL (95% CI, 5.5-9.9 mL). 16 Therefore, the epidural administration of 3mL of saline does not have a significant effect on the results, and if it does, it is to reduce the dose of ED 50 , 17 which narrow the difference in dose between the two studies.…”

“…Mei et al showed that the ED50 and ED95 of hyperbaric ropivacaine for cesarean section were 11mg and 15mg, 17 and the sequential study of Lv et al showed that the ED50 of hyperbaric ropivacaine for cesarean section was 8.29mg. 18 Practically, due to high abdominal pressure and distended intraspinal veins, the drug dose required for spinal anesthesia for puerperae is lower than that of non-puerperae women. However, the dose in the above study was still significantly higher than the ED50 and ED95 of 7.036 mg and 8.709 mg in this study.…”

“…Although ropivacaine has more stable hemodynamics effect, it might induce hypotension in SA, especially with high doses in obese parturient women [7]. Thus small dose of local anesthestic was advocated due to low incidence of hypotension induced by SA, however it possibly increased the failures [8,9]. In some cases phenylephrine has to be administered because of its' more advantages to prevent SA related to hypotension [5,10].…”
