Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Spinal anesthesia using hyperbaric bupivacaine HCl for cesarean section].
We performed this prospective study to determine the proper amount of hyperbaric bupivacaine hydrochloride as a spinal anesthetic agent for cesarean section. ⋯ 1. As a spinal anesthetic agent for cesarean section, hyperbaric bupivacaine is superior to tetracaine. 2. Hyperbaric bupivacaine 10 mg, 12.5 mg or 15 mg can be used safely and effectively as a spinal agent for cesarean section. 3. High dose bupivacaine is recommended in an urgent case, and low dose bupivacaine is recommended when maternal hypotension must be strictly avoided.
