Summary
There has been a wide variety of use of anaesthetic agents along with adjuncts during
subarachnoid block. The quest for attaining adequate analgesia and anaesthesia has always
been shadowed by the concurrent deleterious effect of the anaesthetic agent. Ropivacaine as
an anesthetic agent has proven to meet the desired goals of anaesthesia while minimizing the
potential side effects. The addition of different adjuncts has shown to enhance the analgesic
property, prolong the duration of sensory blockade and decrease the dose related adverse
effects of the local anaesthetics. Fentanyl in this regards has also shown some promising
effects. Thus we compare the use of ropivcaine as a single agent versus ropivacaine along
with an adjunct (Fentanyl) to attain the desired anesthetic effect while minimizing the
associated side effects.
