ABSTRACT
Spinal anesthesia is one of the most used anesthetic
techniques in clinical practice, it consists of administering local
anesthetic in the subarachnoid space. The use of ropivacaine
has an onset of action of 10 to 15 minutes, with a longer
duration of the anesthetic and analgesic effect, with a decrease
in motor blockade. Due to the limited evidence described,
we decide to investigate the experience of subarachnoid
anesthesia in surgery, and evaluate the duration of motor and
sensory blockade. The design of this study was retrospective,
observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, reviewing records
at a single center (Hospital Angeles Mocel) between March-
December 2024. A sample of 49 patients was taken, describing
the duration of motor and sensory block, hemodynamic
changes in transanesthetic. It was found that the average motor
time was 377 minutes and sensory time was 298.4 minutes,
we found that ropivacaine produced a shorter duration of
motor block but a longer duration of sensory block. The use of
ropivacaine in the intrathecal space is considered a safe and
effective technique, with a better prognosis for the patient.
