Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Hemodynamic effects of spinal anesthesia with 2% lidocaine in comparison to 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine].
Our study compared the haemodynamic changes after spinal anesthesia with 2% lignocaine and 0.5% plain bupivacaine. ⋯ In patients developing a sensory block at or above the T6 dermatome, the decrease in cardiac output and mean arterial pressure in the first 25 min after spinal anaesthesia is smaller when 2% lignocaine rather than 0.5% bupivacaine is used for blockade.
