Brief Summary

Spinal opioids potentiate the effect oflocal anesthetic agent providing longer lasting postoperative analgesia. Wecompared injection nalbuphine and butorphanol as an adjuvant to bupivacainewith respect to onset, duration of sensory and motor block, duration ofanalgesia, fetal outcome using APGAR and cord blood ph. Totalof 90 patients divided randomly into three groups Group A(n=30)0.5% bupivacaine10 mg(2ml)with 400μg nalbuphine diluted upto 2.2ml, Group B(n=30)0.5%bupivacaine 10 mg(2ml) with 25 μg butorphanol diluted upto 2.2ml, Group C(n=30)0.5%bupivacaine 10 mg(2ml) with normal saline diluted upto 2.2ml.
