Abstract
Objective To compare the effects of the same dose of Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine for spine anesthesia in the patients undergoing caesarean section. Methods Total of 120 women (ASAⅠorⅡ) who would be given caesarean section were at random divided into two groups in order to receive one of the following isobaric intrathecal solutions (containing ropivacaine and bupivacaine,respectively) with cerebrospinal fluid as diluent. The difference of sensory block,motor block and recovery was compared. Results There were differences among the two groups in onset time,block height and the longest duration time of sensory block. As for onset time,block height,and the quality of analgesia and muscular relaxation,various ranks were listed as follow: ropivacaine bupivacaine,bupivacaine ropivacaine,and bupivacaine ropivacaine. Conclusion Ropivacaine might be the appropriate choice when caesarean section is performed.
