Abstract

(Anesth Analg. 2022;134:624–632) Cervical cerclage, an operation designed to reduce preterm delivery and improve perinatal outcomes, often utilizes spinal anesthesia. While the benefits of spinal anesthesia are well documented, an intrathecal local anesthetic agent, such as 2-chloroprocaine (2-CP), could shorten postanesthesia care unit stay as it has a fast onset and short duration. Currently, bupivacaine is commonly used during spinal anesthesia because of historical concern regarding 2-CP’s safety. This study randomly compared the outcome of 2-CP 3% 50 mg and hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.75% 9 mg on dermatomal level, sensory block resolution, ability to ambulate and void, and motor blockade.
