Brief Summary

BACKGROUND: One previous study has confirmed that the marginally hyperbaric solutions of bupivacaine can maintain good quality of anesthesia and get a more steadily hemodynamic status than commonly hyperbaric solutions, some authors confirmed the plain ropivacaine for cesarean section have a higher failure rate and commonly hyperbaric solutions of ropivacaine have a higher incidence of side reaction. It is unclear what the efficacy of spinal marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine for elective cesarean delivery.We hypothesized that the marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine will get a similar efficacy to commonly hyperbaric solutions but a more steadily hemodynamic status. OBJECTIVE In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, Investigator will compare the clinical efficacy and adverse effect of spinal anesthesia with commonly hyperbaric and marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine for elective cesarean delivery. Main outcome measures: The maximum cephalad sensory block level; the change of continuous cerebral oxygen desaturation (ScO2) over time; the incidence of hypotension and nausea and vomiting; the change of invasive arterial pressure; the consumption of ephedrine; the incidence of shivering; the onset time to T8 dermatome; the quality of anesthesia (efficacy of motor block and sensory block)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The maximum cephalad sensory block level

    The highest cephalad sensory block level is determined by pinprick along both sides of the midclavicular line.

    During 50 min post spinal injection

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The incidence of hypotension

    During 50 min post spinal injection

  • The change rate of invasive arterial pressure

    During 15 min post spinal injection

Study Arms (2)

commonly hyperbaric ropivacaine group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group will receive spinal anesthesia with commonly hyperbaric ropivacaine solution,which was made by adding 50% glucose to the plain ropivacaine commercially availablethe to make it's density is close to commonly hyperbaric bupivacaine.

Combination Product: hyperbaric ropivacaine

marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine group

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will receive spinal anesthesia with marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine,which was made by adding 5% glucose to the plain ropivacaine commercially availablethe to make it's density is slightly denser than cerebrospinal fluid but much less denser than commonly hyperbaric bupivacaine/ropivacaine.

Combination Product: hyperbaric ropivacaine

Interventions

hyperbaric ropivacaineCOMBINATION_PRODUCT

We change the density of ropivacaine solution to make it into an marginally hyperbaric state or into an commonly hyperbaric state.and we hypothesized that the marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine will get a similar efficacy to commonly hyperbaric solutions but a more steadily hemodynamic status.
