Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To compare the effects of using intrathecal prilocaine combined with fentanyl on duration of motor block versus that of intrathecal bupivacaine combined with fentanyl in elective caesarean section.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

The participants in this study will be randomized into two groups based on computer generated numbers using online randomization program (research randomizer). Upon arrival to the operating room, patients will be monitored using electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, and non-invasive blood pressure monitor. The baseline values will be recorded .Heart rate and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) will be monitored continuously; systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) will be measured noninvasively at 5 minutes interval during the procedure and during the PACU stay. An 18G-cannulae will be inserted, and pre-medication drugs will be delivered (metoclopramide 10mg). and 4-8 mL/ kg crystalloid infusion will be initiated . Nasal oxygen 3 L / min will be administered during the whole procedure.

  • Group P: patients assigned to this group will receive intrathecal 50 mg (2.5 ml) of prilocaine 2% (Takipril, prilocaine hydrochloride 20 mg/mL, hyperbar, Sintetica) + 25 ug fentanyl (0.5 ml).

  • Group B: patient assigned to this group will receive intrathecal 10 mg (2 ml) of bupivacaine 5% (sunnypivacaine hyperbaric bupivacaine 20 mg/4ml + 25 ug fentanyl (0.5 ml).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: prilocaine

Drug: prilocaine
intrathecal 50 mg (2.5 ml) of prilocaine 2% (Takipril, prilocaine hydrochloride 20 mg/mL, hyperbar, Sintetica) + 25 ug fentanyl (0.5 ml).

Active Comparator: bupivacaine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. time to motor block [time from intrathecal drug injection and time to unassisted ambulation or Bromage's score = 0 (no motor block) (from3 to 5 minutes).]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. time to sensory block (T4) [time from intrathecal drug injection and complete absence of skin sensation to the pinprick test at T4 (from 1 to 5 minutes)]
