ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effects of adrenaline on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of bupivacaine for interscalene plexus block. Method:Sixteen ASA gradeⅠ-Ⅱadult patients undergoing shoulder or upper limbs operation were randomly divided into two groups (n=8)). The plexus block was induced with 0.75％ bupivacaine 2 mg/kg or 0.75％ bupivacaine 2mg/kg plus 1200 000 adrenaline. Clinical effects and plasma concentration,the Cmax and Tmax were compared between two groups. Result:The time to reach peak analgesia and the duration of analgesia were longer in adrenaline group than in control group(P
