Title: A Comparison of 0.5% and 0.75% Bupivacaine for Epidural Anesthesia in Cesarean Section
Abstract: Twenty-eight patients given 18 to 22 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine epidurally for elective cesarean section were studied for the level of blockade and need for anesthetic supplementation. The results were compared to a retrospectively studied group of 78 women who had had epidurals with 14 to 20 ml 0.75% bupivacaine. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the need for anesthetic supplementation (32.1% for the 0.5% bupivacaine group, 33.3% for the 0.75% group) or in mean height of block (approximately T-4 for both groups).
