COMPARATIVE STUDY OF 0.5% LIDOCAINE AND 0.2% ROPIVACAINE IN INTRAVENOUS REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA FOR HAND SURGERIES Dr.A.GOWRISHANKAR. PG DEPT OF ANESTHESIOLOGY THANJAVUR MEDICAL COLLEGE
To compare the anaesthetic efficacy, post-operative analgesia, side-effects between lidocaine 0.5%and ropivacaine 0.2% when intravenous regional anesthesia was used in hand surgeries
METHODS AND MATERIALS • Approval from institutional ethical committee and written consent from the patient • 40 adult patients ASA I , II • Pts allocated into two groups (Randomised control study) Group I : (n=20) : Lidocaine 0.5% (3 mg/kg) Group II : (n=20) : Ropivacaine 0.2% (1.2 mg/kg) • elective and emergency hand surgeries lasting less than one hour
EXCLUSION CRITERIA • ASA III ,IV • Liver and renal disease • Sickle cell disease • Cardiac conduction abnormalities • Neurological & vascular abnormalities • Uncontrolled hypertension • Diabetic neuropathy • Pregnancy • h/o seizure
Fasting guidelines were followed • 18 g iv cannula on non operative side • 20 g iv cannula was inserted in the distal vein on the dorsum of the hand of the operative extremity • Baseline PR,BP ,SPO2 ,RR were recorded. • Exsanguination with esmarch bandage • Circulation was occluded by the proximal cuff of a double cuffed pneumatic tourniquet • Distal cuff inflated and proximal cuff deflated when VNPRS > 5 • After completion of surgery tourniquet deflated in biphasic manner.
MONITORING • Tourniquet inflation and deflation time. • Onset of sensory and motor blockade. • Intra-op hemodynamics. • Intra-op tourniquet pain. • Sensory and motor recovery time. • Duration of post –op analgesia. • Total dose of rescue analgesics. • complication.
sex No of patients
DIAGNOSIS • No of patients
VNPS 20 MIN No of patients VNPS P (<0.05)
VNPS 40 MIN No of patients VNPS (P<0.05)
No of patients complications • Metallic taste • Light headedness • Nausea • Tinnitus • seizure
CONCLUSION • We conclude that ropivacaine 0.2% provides prolonged analgesia, lower post-op rescue analgesics requirement, and lesser side effects and hence an alternative to lidocaine 0.5% in Intravenous regional anesthesia for hand surgeries.
