Background: Postoperative analgesia after cesarean section poses unique clinical challenges to anesthesiologist. Intrathecal buprenorphine is a promising drug for postoperative analgesia.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two doses of buprenorphine (45 μg and 60 μg) as an adjuvant to hyperbaric bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia in cesarean section.
Setting And Design: Prospective randomized double-blind controlled study involving ninety parturients posted for elective cesarean section under subarachnoid block.
Materials And Methods: Group A ( = 30) received 1.8 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 45 μg buprenorphine, Group B ( = 30) received 1.8 ml 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 60 μg buprenorphine, Group C ( = 30) received 1.8 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 0.2 ml normal saline, respectively. Following parameters were observed: onset and duration of sensory block, postoperative pain scores based on visual analog scale (VAS), rescue analgesic requirement, and maternal and neonatal side effects if any.
Statistical Analysis: Unpaired -test and Chi-square test were used.
Results: Duration of postoperative analgesia was significantly prolonged in Groups A and B in comparison to Group C and it was longest in Group B. Rescue analgesic requirement and VAS score were significantly lower in the buprenorphine groups. No major side effects were observed.
Conclusion: Addition of buprenorphine to intrathecal bupivacaine prolonged the duration and quality of postoperative analgesia after cesarean section. Increasing the dose of buprenorphine from 45 μg to 60 μg provided longer duration of analgesia without increase in adverse effects.

Background: Preservative-free chloroprocaine is a promising spinal anesthetic for ambulatory surgeries, offering a short duration of action and minimal side effects, which promote faster recovery and discharge. Thus, this study aimed to compare chloroprocaine hydrochloride to the widely used bupivacaine as a spinal anesthetic in ambulatory anorectal surgeries. We hypothesized that chloroprocaine will lead to quicker recovery and discharge, supporting its use in the ambulatory surgical setting.

Background: The effect of anesthesia methods on non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrence post-resection remains uncertain. We aimed to compare the oncological outcomes of spinal anesthesia (SA) and general anesthesia (GA) in patients with NMIBC.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial recruited 287 patients with clinical NMIBC at Seoul National University Hospital from 2018 to 2020.

Background: Visceral pain is common in cesarean sections conducted under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSE). Epidural volume extension (EVE) is a technique for enhancing the effect of intrathecal blocks by inducing epidural fluid boluses in the CSE. Whether EVE that uses different drugs can reduce visceral pain during cesarean sections is rarely studied.

Cesarean sections may be handled with a variety of different anesthetic approaches, of which most focus seems to be on that of spinal forms, due to their rapid and effective action. Dosages of spinal anesthesia formulations differ depending on multiple variables, such as depth of anesthesia, level of analgesia, and desired duration of effects.

Background: The subarachnoid block is the predominant and relatively safe approach during lower limb orthopaedic operations. When used as an additive to intrathecal local anaesthetic, both fentanyl and dexmedetomidine can extend the duration of sensory and motor blockade and improve postoperative analgesia.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess and compare the efficacy of sequential administration of fentanyl and dexmedetomidine alongside 0.
