Abstract
Effect of ropivacaine with and without intrathecal fentanyl for spinal anesthesia among patients with scorpion bite is of interest. Patients in the fentanyl-ropivacaine combination group had faster onset of sensory blockade (5.2±1.1 versus 7.8±1.3 minutes, p<0.001) and significantly longer analgesia duration (290±15 versus 180±12 minutes, p<0.001) than patients in the ropivacaine-alone group. Hemodynamic stability and the incidence of adverse effects were similar between the two groups. These results indicate that intrathecal fentanyl enhances the efficacy of ropivacaine in this distinct patient population without compromising safety.
