RESUMO

Introduction Persistent postoperative pain leads to impaired patient recovery and delays in discharge of patients. The aim was to compare the efficacy of 0.5% bupivacaine to two varying concentrations of ropivacaine, specifically 0.5% and 0.75%, along with fentanyl as a continuous epidural infusion in providing adequate pain relief for patients subjected to infraumbilical surgeries. Materials and methods A prospective randomized comparative study was carried out on 150 patients and was divided into three groups, namely group B, group R, and group RP. Group B indicates (0.5% bupivacaine), group R means (0.5% ropivacaine), and finally, group RP means (0.75% ropivacaine); the three groups had 50 patients each. Group B was administered an epidural infusion of bupivacaine at a concentration of 0.5%, group R was given 0.5% ropivacaine, and group RP was treated with 0.75% ropivacaine; all three groups included 40 mcg fentanyl. The duration of the motor and sensory blockade and the time needed for the first rescue analgesia after the stoppage of epidural infusion were assessed in all three groups. The data were statistically analyzed using the ANOVA, "post hoc Tukey," and chi-square tests. Results Comparison of the duration of motor and sensory blockade among all three groups showed that group RP (0.75% ropivacaine with 2 mcg/cc fentanyl) had the longest duration of 328.8 and 406 minutes, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Comparison of the time of stoppage of epidural infusion to the requirement of first rescue analgesia showed that the group that received 0.75% ropivacaine with 40 mcg fentanyl had the highest value of 258.6 minutes and was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion Epidural intraoperative infusion of 0.75% ropivacaine with fentanyl offers better postoperative pain relief as compared to both 0.5% bupivacaine and 0.5% ropivacaine with fentanyl.
