Nalbuphine is an opioid, which is structurally related to oxymorphone, highly lipid soluble with an agonist activity at kappa and an antagonist activity at µ opioid receptor. Buprenorphine is also a highly lipid soluble thebaine derivative with a partial agonist activity at the μ-opioid receptor. Aim of the study was to compare the onset, duration of sensory blockade, duration of motor blockade, 2 segment regression and duration of post-operative analgesia achieved, by comparing hyperbaric bupivacaine with nalbuphine and hyperbaric bupivacaine with buprenorphine after intrathecal administration.

Abstract


Nalbuphine is an opioid, which is structurally related to oxymorphone, highly lipid soluble with an agonist activity at kappa and an antagonist activity at µ opioid receptor. Buprenorphine is also a highly lipid soluble thebaine derivative with a partial agonist activity at the μ-opioid receptor. Aim of the study was to compare the onset, duration of sensory blockade, duration of motor blockade, 2 segment regression and duration of post-operative analgesia achieved, by comparing hyperbaric bupivacaine with nalbuphine and hyperbaric bupivacaine with buprenorphine after intrathecal administration.
