Method: Sixty pregnant women between 18 and 40 years undergoing elective cesarean section were studied in a randomized prospective design. In group HBS, 12.5 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine and 5 ?g sufentanil in 3 mL serum physiologic was applied intrathecally in 30 of the women. In group HRS, 12.5 mg hyperbaric ropivacaine and 5 ?g sufentanil in 3 mL serum physiologic was applied intrathecally to the other 30. Results: In group HRS, the duration for reaching the maximum sensorial block was shorter in comparison to group HBS, although the difference was not statistically significant. The two-segment regression time was shorter in group HRS, when compared to group HBS. Motor block development time and motor block recovery time were statistically shorter in group HRS (p<0.05). Conclusion: Sufentanil combinations with either intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine or intrathecal hyperbaric ropivacaine can be used safely on patients undergoing cesarean deliveries.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBupivacaine; Hyperbaric; Intrathecal; Ropivacaine; SufentanilArticle143204209Q4
