  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine if the mixture of enantiomers of bupivacaine (bupivacaine S75:R25) dos not represent inferiority efficacy and safety compare to the racemic mixture of enantiomers of bupivacaine (bupivacaine S50:R50).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • latency of sensitve block at T6 [ Time Frame: loss of pain in T6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The anesthesiologist will avaluate the loss of pain to pin-prick in T10.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • duration of the anesthesia [ Time Frame: recovery of the sensibility ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Time to recover the sensibility due to the anesthetic

  • Degree of motor block [ Time Frame: End of motor block ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Evaluated by the Bromage scale after the injection of the anesthetic solution

  • maximal level of the sensitive blockade [ Time Frame: last level of sensitive blockade ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Evaluation by pin-prick every 2 minutes after the injection of the anesthetic solution.

  • Maternal cardiocirculatory and respiratory parameters [ Time Frame: During the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2) are evaluate during the study

  • Parturients deambulation [ Time Frame: regression of the motor blockade ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Will be measure the time that the parturients deambulate, due to de regression of the motor blockade

  • Visceral pain [ Time Frame: suture of the peritoneum ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Visceral pain will be assessed at the time of suture of the peritoneum.

  • Neonatal repercussions [ Time Frame: birth of the neonatal ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Evaluation of the Apgar index in the first and fifth minutes.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: bupivacaine S50:R50
3 mL subarachnoid block
Drug: Bupivacaine
single dose of 15 mg by a slow injection rate of 1 mL/s
Other Name: Marcaine
Experimental: bupivacaine S75:R25

Detailed Description:

The enantiomeric mixture of bupivacaine S75:R25 (75% levobupivacaíne and 25% bupivacaine) was develop to be a safety regional anesthetic in substitution to racemic bupivacaine (S50:R50).
