Comparison of the effect of different local anesthetic epidural anesthesia for cesarean section

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of different local anesthetic epidural anesthesia for cesarean section. Methods 60 maternal intended to be carried out cesarean section by epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups. A group(n =30 cases) was administrated with 0.5% ropivacaine to anesthesia,and B group(n = 30 cases) was administrated with 0. 5% bupivacaine to anesthesia. The changes of hemodynamic were monitored,and the analgesic effect and adverse reactions were observed in the two groups. Results The differences of blood pressure, heart rate had no statistical significance between the two groups (all P＞0.05);Compared to B group, the anesthesia onset time, anesthesia time between the start of fetus, analgesic effect, adverse reactions of A group were significantly different (t = 4. 347,4. 528, x2 = 3. 834, 6. 429, all P ＜ 0. 05 ) ; Neonatal Apgar score showed no significant differences between the two groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Anesthesia with 0.5% ropivacaine for cesarean section had satisfactory anesthesia effect,and less adverse reactions.
