ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the anaesthetic effect of sulfentanil combined with bupivacaine for subarachnoid block on cesarean section patients and the influence on the patient and fetus.Methods Eighty patients who were scheduled for elective cesarean section under subarachnoid block,were distributed into two groups:bupivacaine with no sulfenlanil(group B)and bupivacaine with sulfentanil(group BS).Detected SBP,DBP,MAP,HR,SpO2 before and after anesthesia.The time of drug onset,motor recovery and pain recovery were recorded,the effect of muscle relaxation was evaluated,and the drag reaction,neonatal Apgar score and anesthesia complication were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the time of drug onset and motor recovery,muscle relaxation,neonatal Apgar score between the two groups.MAP was lower after 3-10 min of anesthesia than before anesthesia,but there was no significant difference after 30-120 min of anesthesia in the two groups.The rate of drag reaction was 27.5% in group B,but no case in group BS.The time of pain recovery was longer in group BS than that in group B(P＜0.01).The rate of temporary itch of skin after operation was 17.5% in group BS.Conclusion The addition of sulfentanil to hyperbaric bupivacaine provides adequate anesthesia for cesarean section and good postoperative analgesia.
