Filter by:The use of 1% Chloroprocaine (PF) spinal anesthesia will reduce the recovery times and discharge time of patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomies as compared to 0.75% bupivacaine spinal. The primary objective is to compare the recovery times (return of motor and sensory function) and discharge time (voiding time) between 2-Chloroprocaine and 0.75% bupivacaine spinal anesthesia for hemorrhoidectomies. This is a randomized, prospective study assigning patients to either 2-Chloroprocaine (PF) or 0.75% bupivacaine spinal anesthesia group.
Multiple passes and attempts during spinal anesthesia might be associated with a greater incidence of paraesthesia, postdural puncture headache, and spinal hematoma. We hypothesized that the use of a preprocedural ultrasound-assisted paramedian technique for spinal anesthesia in patients with old age would reduce the number of passes required to entry into the subarachnoid space when compared with the landmark-guided paramedian approach. The study participants will be randomized into group L (landmark-guided) and group U (ultrasound-assisted). In group L, spinal anesthesia will be performed via paramedian approach using conventional landmark palpation technique. In group U, a preprocedural ultrasound scan will be used to mark the needle insertion site, and spinal anesthetic will be done via the paramedian approach.
Surgical repair of hip fractures may be performed with various anesthetic techniques, but are most commonly completed under general anesthesia (GA) or neuraxial anesthesia (NA). Numerous prospective and retrospective studies demonstrate improved morbidity and mortality when NA is used; however, many surgeons prefer the use of GA with neuromuscular blockade (NMB) due to the perception of better operative conditions. This study aims to compare the operative conditions obtained from the use of combined GA and spinal with NMB vs. the use of GA with spinal without NMB. 84 patients will all receive a single shot spinal and GA and then will be randomized to receive either NMB or placebo. The fracture reduction time will be measured.
BACKGROUND: One previous study has confirmed that the marginally hyperbaric solutions of bupivacaine can maintain good quality of anesthesia and get a more steadily hemodynamic status than commonly hyperbaric solutions, some authors confirmed the plain ropivacaine for cesarean section have a higher failure rate and commonly hyperbaric solutions of ropivacaine have a higher incidence of side reaction. It is unclear what the efficacy of spinal marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine for elective cesarean delivery.We hypothesized that the marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine will get a similar efficacy to commonly hyperbaric solutions but a more steadily hemodynamic status. OBJECTIVE In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, Investigator will compare the clinical efficacy and adverse effect of spinal anesthesia with commonly hyperbaric and marginally hyperbaric ropivacaine for elective cesarean delivery. Main outcome measures: The maximum cephalad sensory block level; the change of continuous cerebral oxygen desaturation (ScO2) over time; the incidence of hypotension and nausea and vomiting; the change of invasive arterial pressure; the consumption of ephedrine; the incidence of shivering; the onset time to T8 dermatome; the quality of anesthesia (efficacy of motor block and sensory block)
Intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine during procedure was known to be associated prolonged duration of spinal anesthesia. In patients receiving dexmedetomidine infusion during procedure, it has been not evaluated whether use of adjuvant intrathecal fentanyl had additional prolonging effect on duration of spinal anesthesia or not. Therefore, the investigators planned this trial to compare clinical outcomes in patients receiving spinal anesthesia with heavy bupivacaine only and heavy bupivacaine plus fentanyl adjuvant.
The study is aimed at evaluating whether ultrasound pre-procedural scan with Accuro may reduce needle redirections when performing spinal injection in patients with BMI = or > 30 in orthopedic surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine which postoperative analgesia is optimal after colorectal surgery. The investigators will compare intrathecal morphine, continuous epidural analgesia and standard systemic analgesia. All patients will have the possibility to administer themselves intravenous morphine as needed.
Under the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine sedation would result in less upper airway obstruction, we evaluated the occurrence of upper airway collapse or the requirement of airway intervention in patients with obstructive sleep apnea during dexmedetomidine or propofol sedation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a shorter-acting spinal anesthetic called mepivacaine has advantages over a longer-acting medication called bupivacaine.
The study will compare one technique of fluid administration (combined colloid preload and crystalloid colaod) with another one (crystalloid coload) during elective cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia.
