Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2022 Feb 28;64(1):49-54. doi: 10.3897/folmed.64.e59831.

Abstract

Circadian variations in biological rhythms affect the pharmacological properties of many anaesthetic agents, suggesting circadian patterns of local anaesthetics' activity in labour pain analgesia, with important differences among diurnal and nocturnal phases.

Keywords: caesarian section circadian effects local anaesthetics pain spinal anaesthesia.
