COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NALBUPHINE AND BUPRENORPHINE AS ADJUVANTS TO BUPIVACAINE IN LOWER LIMB ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERIES

Abstract

Studies have been proving that SB is popular due to its discrete endpoints and an anesthesiologist's ability to provide the block with a single injection. As a result, the goal of our study was to compare and contrast ITN against B for lower limb surgery under SA. The day prior to surgery, a full physical and systemic evaluation was performed on 30 patients. Patients were kept NPO for 6 hours prior to surgery and told about the SAT with lab tests. Patient groups N and B were randomly assigned. Group N received BV-heavy 0.5% in 3 ml + 0.5 ml (0.8 mg), and Group B received 60 ml. After turning the block and patient supine, a sterile gauge and micropore sealed the perforation. NIBP, HR, O2 saturation, sensory, and motor blocks were measured. NIBP, PR, C-ECG, PO, and UO were intraoperative.In our study, we found that the mean arterial pressures at different points in time showed no significant fall in B.P. among both groups. Peri-operative and PO PR variations were noted and found to be within normal parameters, and the DOA difference between the two groups is statistically significant (p value 0.0000).Thus, we conclude that ITN &B can increase DOA and reduce POA requirements.
