Abstract

The anesthetist is held responsible for ensuring a stable and safe operative and post-operative environment so as to aid in the faster and uneventful recovery of the patient. Spinal anesthesia in obstetric surgeries has been gaining rapid acceptance as a choice method but the agent of choice for anesthesia must be such that it can provide a stable state for both the mother and child. The present study was done to ascertain the comparative efficacy of two agents levobupivacaine and bupivacaine in elective cesarian surgery cases. The results showed that levobupivacaine had a shorter duration of sensory and motor block as well as statistically significant lower levels of side effects as compared to bupivacaine. The authors concluded that levobupivacaine may be a more feasible alternative in such surgeries as compared to bupivacaine.
