Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  intrathecal midazolam along with bupivacaine were compared with bupivacaine alone.  After obtaining institutional ethics committee clearance, and written informed consent from the patients, 90 adult patients of ASA physical status I and II and aged 18 – 60 years undergoing elective infra-umbilical (gynaecologic/urologic) under spinal subarachnoid block anesthesia were included into the study. Patients of group BM received 2.5ml hyperbaric bupivacaine (0.5%) plus 0.4 ml (2mg) preservative free midazolam, Patients of group B received 2.5 ml hyperbaric bupivacaine (0.5%) plus 0.4 ml normal saline (0.9%). The total volume of subarachnoid injectate in either group was 2.9 ml. 
Intervention  Spinal subarachnoid block  Under strict aseptic precautions a 25G Quincke spinal needle was introduced into L3-L4 or L4-L5 inter vertebral space in midline approach in lateral posture and after confirming free flow of CSF, pre determined 2.9 ml of drug solution was injected. The rate of injection was kept 0.2 ml/second. At the end of the injection, a small sterile dressing was applied and patients were placed supine with a pillow under the head and neck soon after administration of intrathecal drugs.

Brief Summary  

Background: Spinal anesthetic technique is one of the common procedures used for various infra umbilical surgeries. Duration of post operative analgesia is one of the important concerns while  performing this procedure. Several adjuvants have been tried along with local anesthetic for prolonging the duration of analgesia. In this study we have observed the effect of midazolam as an adjuvant in patients undergoing infra umbilical surgery.

Settings and Design: A prospective, randomized, double blinded, parallel group, placebo controlled, open label study tertiary care hospital.

Methods: 90 adult patients aged 18 – 60 years, of American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) status I and II, scheduled for elective infraumbilical surgery, were randomly allocated in two groups. Each patient in  group “B” received bupivacaine 12.5mg along with 0.4 ml of normal saline in the subarachnoid block, and patients of group “BM” received 12.5 mg bupivacaine along with preservative free midazolam 0.4ml (2mg). Duration of analgesia was calculated from time of administration of the block to requirement of rescue analgesic as demanded by the patient in the post operative period.

Statistical analysis: SPSS v17.0 was used for analysis of data. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results & conclusion: Use of midazolam as adjuvant with the local anesthetic significantly increases the duration of analgesia and motor block but a less PONV.
