Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEffects of speed of intrathecal injection on unilateral spinal block by 1% hyperbaric bupivacaine. A randomized, double-blind study.
To evaluate if the speed of intrathecal injection affects the lateral distribution of spinal block during unilateral spinal anaesthesia with 1% hyperbaric bupivacaine. ⋯ Extremely reduced speeds of intrathecal injection did not improve the lateral distribution of spinal block when injecting 8 mg of 1% hyperbaric bupivacaine through a pencil-point directional spinal needle.
