Özet
Aim: Increasing local anaesthetic volume may provide greater distribution of the drug within the brachial perivascular sheath. This study was performed to determine the effect of different volumes of ropivacaine in brachial plexus anaesthesia. Materials and Methods: After obtaining ethics committee approval, 40 ASA I-II patients receving axillary blocks were randomised into 2 groups. Group I received 20 mL 1 % ropivacaine and Group II received, 20 mL 1 % ropivacaine diluted with normal saline to a total volume of 40 mL. Time to onset of sensory and motor block, resolution of motor block, and onset of postoperative pain and the quality of block were recorded. Results: Times to onset of sensory and motor block, resolution of motor block and onset of postoperative pain were similar in two groups (p>0.05). Surgical anaesthesia was unsatisfactory in 6 patients in Group I and in 4 patients in Group II. requiring local supplementation by the surgen. Conclusion: We conclude, that there is no difference in the effect of anaesthetic and analgesic properties for axillary plexus block when 200 mg of ropivacaine is diluted to a total volume of 20 or 40 mL.
