Abstract
This study entitled was done to evaluate the effects of adding fentanyl to hyperbaric bupivacaine with regard to onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, hemodynamic parameters, intra-operative complications and total duration of analgesia. The present study was conducted to compare the hemodynamics and duration of analgesia using 7.5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine and 25 mcg of fentanyl mixture to 10 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine for caesarean section. The study was done at Krishna Institute of medical science involving 60 ASA Grade I and II patients who underwent caesarean section under subarachnoid block.
