Actual (reported)Over the past 15 years, cesarean delivery is most commonly performed under spinal anesthesia using hyperbaric bupivacaine which provides an adequate sensory and motor block. Despite effective surgical anesthesia, bupivacaine is associated with long duration motor block and dose-dependent maternal hypotension potentially harmful for the fetus. Prilocaine with its new 2% hyperbaric formulation (HP), developed recently, showed rapid onset of action and faster regression of motor block compared to other local anesthetics without noteworthy side-effects when used intrathecally. The aim of this randomized, multicenter, powered clinical trial is to investigate whether HP may be an efficient alternative to hyperbaric bupivacaine for scheduled caesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia, with more rapid rehabilitation and less adverse effects. Our hypothesis is that hyperbaric prilocaine offers shorter motor block and more rapid rehabilitation than bupivacaine.

Actual (reported)Time to Regression of Motor Block
Time to regression of motor block is the time between maximal blockade (score 1, as evaluated by the Modified Bromage scale), and no blockade (score 6). Degree of motor blockade is assessed before and 10, 15, 20 minutes after spinal anesthesia, then every 15 minutes until the end of surgery, and thereafter, every 30 minutes until complete regression of motor block
until complete regression of motor block (up to 4 hours)
Time to Successful Anesthesia (Successful Sensory Block)
From spinal injection of the local anesthetic to bilateral T4 level (average 20 minutes)
Number of Participants Per Maximal Level of Sensory Block Attained After Spinal Anesthesia
until complete release of sensory block (T12-S1) (average 4 hours)
Time to Resolution of Sensory Block
until complete release of sensory block (T12-S1) (average 4 hours)
Time to Motor Block Onset
From spinal injection of the local anesthetic to bilateral T4 level and during surgery (average 1 hour)
Number of Patients With Hypotension and Use of Vasopressors
up to 2 hours after surgery
Hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% will be administered at the dose of 10 mg intrathecally associated with 100 µg of morphine and 2.5 µg of sufentanyl.
Hyperbaric prilocaine 2% will be administered at the dose of 50 mg intrathecally associated with 100 µg of morphine and 2.5 µg of sufentanyl.
The dose of 10 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine will be administered to one of two groups intrathecally and the quality of sensory and motor block as well as side-effects will be observed at precise time points.
The dose of 50 mg of hyperbaric prilocaine will be administered to one of two groups intrathecally and the quality of sensory and motor block as well as side-effects will be observed at precise time points.
