Abstract:
Objective To compare the effect of bupivacaine and levobupivacaine for caudal anesthesia in infant and children.Methods Forty patients with age 3-6 years old in the state of ASA Ⅰ grade were randomly divided into bupivacaine group and levobupivacaine group,each 20 patients.Both groups received respectively bupivacaine or levobupivacine with the same concentration and volume.The blood pressure,heart rate and pulse oxygen saturation were monitored during the operation.The degree of pain and motor was assessed after the operation.Results Bupivacaine and levobupivacaine for caudal anesthesia in infant and children could provide good analgesic effects.The scores of pain was similar between the two groups and had no statistic significance (P ＞ 0.05).The scores of motor block in bupivacaine group was significantly higher than that in levobupivacaine group after anesthesia 60,90,120 min [(1.5 ±0.6) scores vs.(0.9 ±0.3) scores,(1.0 ±0.8) scores vs.(0.1 ±0.5) scores,(0.6 ±0.5) scores vs.(0.0 ±0.7)scores],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Bupivacaine and levobupivacaine have the same analgesic potency.Levobupivacaine is better than bupivacaine in motor block.
