Nijalingappa Medical College, 2022-12) Jain, Akansha; Gupta, Deepesh; Agarwal, Aditya; Trivedi, SaurabhIntroduction: A lot of surgeries are now performed to reduce a number of physical ailments. Although these surgeries are done to reduce the sufferings these inevitably lead to a lot of pain for the patient. Material and Methods: Our study comprises of 60 patients who had undergone elective upper limb surgery in a tertiary care centre of central India. Patients of both genders, in age group 18-60 years with American Society of Anaesthesiology (ASA) grade I or II were included in our study and divided in two groups of 30 each. Results: Data was entered into MS-Excel sheet and analysed by SPSS version 20. Quantitative data was compared by using student t-test and qualitative data by using chi-square test and Fisher exact test, as applicable. P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Both the groups were similar in demographic and surgical characteristics. However, we found that the group given bupivacaine and fentanyl had longer duration of sensory and motor block and post-operative analgesia than ropivacaine and fentanyl group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Combination of bupivacaine with fentanyl provides longer duration of sensory block, motor block and postoperative analgesia without any major side effects than combination of ropivacaine with fentanyl with comparable haemodynamic in both groups.
