This is</p> <p>primarily due to the availability of anaesthetic agents that block sensations locally or regionally</p> <p>for shorter durations. Objective: To compare the outcome of 0.5% hyperbaric Ropivacaine with</p> <p>0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine in spinal anaesthesia for perianal surgeries. Design: Randomized</p> <p>controlled trial. Setting: Anaesthesiology Department, Surgical Intensive Care Unit And Pain</p> <p>Management, Jinnah Post graduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi. Duration: Six months</p> <p>(From 7 April 2016 to 7 October 2016). Methods: 126 Perianal surgery patients were</p> <p>approached for consent for study. Two groups viz; A & B were made, and group allocation of</p> <p>consecutive patients were made through using opaque envelopes containing strip of either group.</p> <p>Group A patients received three mililiter of Ropivacaine (5 mg/ml) with glucose 83 mg/ml.</p> <p>Whereas, Group B received three mililiter of hyperbaric Bupivacaine (5 mg/ml) with glucose 80</p> <p>mg/ml. Moreover, Oral temazepam 10–20 mg was administered to patients before to surgery to</p> <p>reduce anxiety. Results: The duration of sensory block was statistically less in the Ropivacaine</p> <p>group (153.8±9.3min) as compared to Bupivacaine group (190.2±8.3min) with P-value 0.0001.</p> <p>In addition, the ropivacaine group’s mean time in motor block was less than that of the</p> <p>bupivacaine group (120.89±12.122 min vs 189.33±11.947min; P = 0.0001). Conclusion:</p> <p>According to the results of the current investigation, bupivacaine applied intrathecally causes</p> <p>sensory block to begin more quickly and last longer than ropivacaine.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Peoples University of Medical & Health Sciences Nawabshah.
