Abstract :

 BACKGROUND AND AIM:

      Perineal surgeries are frequently performed under Spinal Anaesthesia. 2–Chloroprocaine seems to be promising alternative being a short acting agent. This study was designed to compare 2–Chloroprocaine with 0.5% Bupivacaine for Spinal Anaesthesia in perineal surgeries. Aim is to study the onset of sensory block, motor block, resolution of sensory and motor block, ambulation time, voiding time and patient satisfaction.

METHODS AND MATERIAL:

      Following approval of institutional ethical committee, this prospective double blinded randomized control study was conducted in 60 patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia. Informed consent was obtained and study sample was divided randomly to two groups. Group A–1% 2–Chloroprocaine (n=30), Group B–0.5% Bupivacaine (n=30).

RESULT:

       Onset of sensory block was comparable in both groups (P–0.77). But Group A showed faster onset of motor block (P–0.04) and fast regression of sensory (P–0.001) and motor block (P–0.005). Time for first mobilisation (P–0.004) and voiding (P–0.003) were also significantly low in Group A.

CONCLUSION:

     Spinal 2–Chloroprocaine is similar to 0.5% Bupivacaine in terms of onset of sensory block, but shows faster recovery from block than 0.5% Bupivacaine and early discharge from hospital.
