Summary

The objectives of this study is to test a combination of low dose local anesthetic Bupivacaine diluted in patient's CSF with lipophilic opiate Fentanyl for optimal spinal anesthesia during Cesarean Section. The dilution of Bupivacaine with CSF in our study would result in effective spinal anesthesia with relatively limited motor block, quick recovery of motor function and relatively long lasting analgesia. We expect lower incidence of side effects with this combination than with convenient dose of Bupivacaine.
