Abstract :

To compare the charecteristics of subarachnoid block of 0.5% of 3ml hyperbaric Bupivacaine heavy with 20µg Fentanyl versus 0.5% of 3ml hyperbaric Bupivacaine heavy with 60 µg Buprenorphine in subarachnoid block for Trans urethral resection of prostate in 60 patients.They were randomly divided in to two groups of 30 each.The onset of motor and sensory block was faster in fentanyl group campared to buprenorpinegroup.No significant difference was observed in haemodynamic parameters between both groups but associated with pruritis and post operative nausea and vomiting incidences were in lesser number.
