Randomized trial compares effective dose of bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia during cesarean delivery, suggesting temperature may influence requirements.
( Anesth Analg . 2025;140(2):437-443. doi: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000007095. Epub 2024 Jun 13) This study aimed to investigate the impact of the temperature of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine (ITB) on the required dose for spinal anesthesia during cesarean deliveries (CDs). It was hypothesized that warming the ITB to body temperature (37 °C) would reduce the dose needed for effective anesthesia. The primary goal was to compare the effective dose for 50% of patients (ED50) for each group.
