Abstract: | Forty patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia for a variety ofsurgical procedures were randomly allocated to receive 3 mlof ropivacaine 5 mg ml1 in glucose 10 mg ml1 or50 mg ml1. Onset of sensory block to T10 was significantlyfaster (P=0.03) with the glucose 50 mg ml1 solution (median5 min, range 220 min) than with the 10 mg ml1solution (median 10 min, range 225 min). Maximum extentof cephalad spread was virtually the same in both groups (10mg ml1 median T6/7, range T3T10; 50 mg ml1median T6, range T3T10) with similar times to regressionbeyond S2 (10 mg ml1 median 210 min, range 150330min; 50 mg ml1 median 210 min, range 150330 min).Complete motor block was produced in the majority of patients(10 mg ml1 90%; 50 mg ml1 85%) and the time tocomplete regression was the same in both groups (median 120min, range 90210 min). A block adequate for the projectedsurgery was achieved in all patients. Br J Anaesth 2001; 86: 2414 |
