Abstract

The addition of fentanyl to a local anaesthetic for spinal block has been advocated as a means of improving analgesia with less risk than can occur with intrathecal morphine(1, 2).

This study was designed to assess the value of the addition of fentanyl to hyperbaric lignocaine and to answer two questions:

  1. 1.

    Are depth and duration of spinal analgesia improved when fentanyl is added to lignocaine?

  2. 2.

    Does intrathecal fentanyl provide better analgesia than a similar dose given intramuscularly?
