Introduction: Intrathecal opioids have been used for many patients undergoing surgical operations to improve clinical outcomes. Cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery carries a number of drawbacks, namely hemodynamic derangements. Several methods have been used to suppress this state; among them is sympathetic blockade by neuraxial anesthesia. This study assesses the effect of intrathecal adjuvant bupivacaine plus sufentanil on intraoperative hemodynamic changes in elective coronary artery bypass surgery.
Methods: In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials, 80 patients scheduled for elective CABG were randomly assigned into 2 groups. One group received intrathecal sufentanil (S) and the other group received the same dose of sufentanil plus supplemental bupivacaine (SB). All t.. View More»
