It is a simple technique which produces the\u0000desired anaesthetic, analgesic and akinetic effect on the eye. But both these anaesthetic agents are reported to produce cardiovascular and central\u0000nervous system side-effects. Safer agents like ropivacaine are being introduced into the clinical practice. Most of the patients undergoing\u0000cataract surgeries have associated comorbidities such as a hypertension, diabetes mellitus and asthma. Also, today's population is largely\u0000addicted to alcohol and smoking. Such patients are graded based on the American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grades prior to surgeries\u0000to assess their perioperative risks. This study focuses on comparing the characteristics of peribulbar blocks with 0.75% ropivacaine with the\u0000popularly used bupivacaine and lignocaine mixture and to assess their cardiotoxicity in ASA 2 patients. Methods: Eighty patients of ASA 2\u0000category with comparable demographic characteristics were allocated to two random groups of 40 each. Patients of groups A (lignocaine and\u0000bupivacaine) and B (ropivacaine) were given 8 ml mixture of 2% lignocaine (4 ml) + 0.5% bupivacaine (4ml) and 8 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine\u0000each and 100 IU of hyaluronidase respectively. Block characteristics like onset and duration of action and hemodynamic variables like systolic\u0000blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate were recorded, studied and analysed. Results: Duration of onset of the block in both the\u0000groups was comparable but the total duration of the block and analgesia was found to be longer in group A than in group B. It was observed that\u0000there were uctuations in the recorded values of blood pressure and pulse rate intraoperatively and postoperatively in Group A whereas these\u0000parameters were stable in Group B. Conclusion: Ropivacaine 0.75% in a volume of 8 ml with 100 IU of hyaluronidase is as effective as a 4:4\u0000mixture of bupivacaine 0.5% and lignocaine 2% in a volume of 8 ml with 100 IU of hyaluronidase with regards to onset of action. The total\u0000duration of the block and hemodynamic changes are less uctuating with the usage of ropivacaine indicating that ropivacaine is a safer drug for\u0000induction of peribulbar anaesthesia in ASA 2 grade cataract patients.","PeriodicalId":13502,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of applied research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140786626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
