The aim of this study is to determine an effective dose of local anesthetic in spinal block for cesarean section accompanied with proper sensory block and decrease of hypotension incidence.
This study is a randomized, double blind clinical trial (phase 4), that 100 healthy cases between 18 to 45 years old with term pregnancy that are candidate for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia will be divided in two groups named A & B in 4 random block. Exclusion criteria will include patients with multiple pregnancy; emergency cesarean delivery; preeclampsia and eclampsia; cardiovascular; pulmonary; thyroid diseases; hypertension and contraindications of spinal anesthesia. Blood pressure; heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation (SPO2) will be recorded for all patients after receiving 10 ml / kg Ringer. Patients will be anesthetized by spinal block with 25 G needle. In first group; 8 mg of bupivacaine 0.5% added to 2.5 micrograms of Sufentanil and in second group; 10 mg of bupivacaine 0.5% added to 2.5 micrograms of Sufentanil with a total volume of 2.5 ml in similar syringes will be injected into the subarachnoid space. Then vital signs in 1,2,3,4,5,10,15,20,30,40,50 , 60 minutes after spinal anesthesia will be measured and recorded . Sensory and motor block of patients will be recorded before surgery and in recovery. Pain severity will be recorded by VAS of pain in skin incision, neonate delivery, skin closure and recovery times.
