[Relation between glucose concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid and sensory and motor block during spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine].
To study the relation between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose levels, the highest level of sensory block, and the duration of motor block after intrathecal injection of 2 mL of hyperbaric bupivacaine. To determine CSF glucose levels upon recovery from motor block. ⋯ After continuous spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine, glucose concentrations in CSF are directly related to the highest level of sensory block, the course of the blockade, and its reversal.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Intradural ropivacaine for cesarean section: choosing the appropriate dose].
The trend in spinal administration of local anesthetics is to use small doses. The aim of this study was to compare 2 minimum doses of ropivacaine administered by intradural infusion for cesarean section. ⋯ There was greater need for a supplementary dose of local anesthetic and a lower incidence of hypotension in the ROP 0.75% group. The level of anesthesia was satisfactory for all patients in the ROP 1% group but the incidence of hypotension was higher.
