Small-Dose Hyperbaric Versus Plain Bupivacaine During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section

Abstract

A small dose of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% combined with sufentanil used intrathecally during cesarean section offered a more reliable cephalad spread of the spinal block than the glucose-free combination, which was reflected in a lower incidence of hypotension and nausea.
