Anesthesia characteristic of an algorithm of bupivacaine dose based on height in caesarean section under spinal anesthesia: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: An algorithm of bupivacaine dose based on height is applied to reduce maternal hypotension in caesarean section under spinal anesthesia. This study is designed to further verify whether the algorithm of bupivacaine dose based on height is suitable. The parturients were grouped according to height. The comparison of anesthesia characteristic among subgroups was carried out. The univariate and multivariate binary logistic regressions were executed to reanalyze the interference factor for the anesthesia characteristic. When the dose of bupivacaine was adjusted by using the height based dosing algorithm, except for weight (P < 0.05), other general data did not present statistical changes with height (P > 0.05); the incidences of complications, characteristics of sensory or motor block, quality
