INTRATHECAL 1% 2 CHLOROPROCAINE V/S 0.5% HYPERBARIC BUPIVACAINE IN AMBULATORY SURGERY

Abstract

Background: Aims of the study to compare 2-CP with bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia in an elective ambulatory setting.

Methods: Hospital based Randomized, Double Blind, Interventional study conducted on patients undergoing for ambulatory surgery under subarachnoid block.

Results: The finding that shows the most significant advantage is the time for regression of the sensory block to S2, as 2-CP was faster than bupivacaine.

Conclusion: 2-chloroprocaine provides adequate duration and depth of surgical anesthesia for short procedures with the advantages of faster block resolution and earlier hospital discharge compared with spinal bupivacaine
