Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of bupivacaine that provides effective pain management in 90% (ED90) of patients undergoing bilateral tubal ligation. This will guide anesthesiologists on the most effective dose to minimize intraoperative pain during this procedure. The goal is to make women as comfortable as possible when they undergo this procedure while also minimizing the amount of time they are required to remain in the hospital afterwards for monitoring.

Hyperbaric bupivacaine 10.5mg

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hyperbaric bupivacaine

Intervention Type DRUG

The dose for the first subject (A#X) will be 12 mg 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacaine. Two possible outcomes will be recorded: satisfactory or unsatisfactory anesthesia which is determined by occurrence of intraoperative pain and the need for intraoperative analgesia supplementation. Satisfactory analgesia will be defined as a sensory block to the T8 dermatome and the patient shall require no further supplementation for discomfort during her procedure. Unsatisfactory analgesia will be defined as a block not achieving a T8 dermatomal level or when a patient requests additional medication for discomfort at any time during her procedure.

The dose for the next (A#X+1) will be adjusted based on the outcome from previous subjects respectively using up-down sequential allocation method with a biased-coin design. This process will continue in similar fashion with dose adjustments for next subjects to be based on outcome from subjects immediately prior.
