The study objective was to compare the hemodynamic effects of reduced dose of 0.5% intrathecal bupivacaine (2mL) with 25 \u03bcg butorphanol in cardiac vs non-cardiac patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n We included sixty patients aged 30-80 years, undergoing infraumbilical surgeries in the study and compared thirty cardiac patients with mild to moderate reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on 2D echocardiography (Group C) with 30 non-cardiac patients (Group NC) for similar types of surgery. Both the groups received 0.5% bupivacaine 2.0 ml with 25 \u03bcg butorphanol.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The spinal block characteristics were similar in both groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). The blood pressure of the patients in the two groups was comparable till 80 min\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05 after which Group NC had significant increase in blood pressure compared to Group C upto 95 min (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). Similarly, heart rate was comparable until 90 min (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05) after which Group NC had significant increase in heart rate versus Group C upto 100 min (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). Eight patients in group C and five patients in group NC showed hypotension. Bradycardia was seen in 4 patients in group C in comparison to only one patient in group NC.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n We can safely consider spinal anesthesia with 10 mg bupivacaine and 25\u03bcg butorphanol in cardiac patients with mild to moderately reduced ejection fraction presenting for infraumbilical non-cardiac surgeries with the advantage of intraoperative hemodynamic stability and adequate postoperative analgesia.<\/jats:p>\n
