Summary
Subarachnoid block is a widely used anesthetic technique for cesarean section. To improve the
quality of analgesia and prolong its duration, the addition of intrathecal opioids to local
anesthetics has been encouraged.
In a double blind randomized controlled trial, 60 parturient women ASA 2-3 scheduled for
elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia will be randomly divided into 2 groups:
Group 1 will receive sufentanil 5 μg and Group 2 will receive meperidine 12.5 mg. In every
group, 0.5% heavy bupivacaine 10 will be added.
