Anesthesia Drug Study

Bupivacaine HCl is a local anesthetic used for spinal anesthesia. It works by blocking the generation and conduction of nerve impulses, presumably by increasing the threshold for electrical excitation in nerves. Common side effects include central nervous system depression, dizziness, and heart block. When using bupivacaine, patients should be informed of potential temporary loss of sensation and motor activity below the waist. Nurses should monitor vital signs and exercise caution in patients with pre-existing medical conditions.
