Arthroplasty, Knee Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of BMI on Median Effective Dose (ED50) of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Bupivacaine for Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty
The effect of Body-mass index (BMI) on requirements of local anesthetics used in spinal anesthesia has not been well established. The investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on spinal anesthesia by comparing the median effective dose of intrathecal bupivacaine between two different BMI groups.
The effect of BMI on requirements of local anesthetics used in spinal anesthesia has not been well established. The investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on spinal anesthesia by comparing the median effective dose (ED50)of intrathecal bupivacaine between two different BMI groups. The investigators determined the ED50 and ED 95 of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine of subjects with BMI below 27.5 kg/m2, and subjects with BMI over 27.5 kg/m2, respectively. By comparing the difference of ED50 and ED95 between the groups, the investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on the bupivacaine dose requirement. ;
