Background and aim: Epidural analgesia using Bupivacaine for abdominal surgeries causes hypotension at the bargain of analgesia. This study was designed to compare effect of 0.0625% bupivacaine with 2% fentanyl and 0.125% bupivacaine with 2% fentanyl epidural infusion on haemodynamic parameters for 48 hrs in infraumbilical surgeries and VAS as the secondary objective with preserved hemodynamic parameters.
Materials and methods: A randomized, prospective, double-blind study was carried out in sixty consenting adult patients of either sex between the ages of 18-65 years undergoing infra umbilical surgery. Group 1 (n=30) patients received continuous epidural infusion of 0.0625% bupivacaine with 2 ug/ml fentanyl and group 2 (n=30) received 0.125% bupivacaine with 2 ug/ml fentanyl. Postoperatively hemodynamic parameters and VAS was recorded at in.. View More»
