Filter by:It is aimed to investigate whether perfusion index (PI) can predict hypotension after spinal anesthesia in elderly patients as much as in young patients.
Several studies have shown that adding dexmedetomidine or epinephrine to single-dose spinal analgesia preparations improves the length and/or speed of onset of the sensory block and post-operative pain management without increased negative side effects. To date, however, no study has compared adjunctive intrathecal dexmedetomidine to adjunctive intrathecal epinephrine in single-dose spinal analgesia. The purpose of this study is to determine if adjunctive intrathecal dexmedetomidine is non-inferior to adjunctive intrathecal epinephrine in providing better single-dose spinal analgesia during cesarean section.
In this prospective, randomized, single-blind study, we aim to compare the effects of general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia on postoperative myocardial injury in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery. Cardiovascular events are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity following non-cardiac surgery, with myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) being a significant concern. MINS, characterized by asymptomatic elevation of troponin levels without accompanying ECG findings, is closely associated with postoperative mortality. With the increasing prevalence of comorbidities in the elderly population and the rising frequency of non-cardiac surgeries in this demographic, understanding the effects of different anesthesia types on postoperative myocardial injury is crucial.
In this study, it was planned to provide more stable hemodynamics in geriatric patients with low-dose spinal anesthesia. We will compare 7.5mg hyperbaric bupivacaine with 5mg hyperbaric bupivacaine. The researchers hypothesized that low-dose bupivacaine would provide adequate anesthesia, less hypotension, and faster recovery.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to test the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial that will examine the use of ropivacaine in the spinal anesthesia for patients undergoing elective 1- or 2-level lower spine surgery. This study aims to: - Determine the rates of eligibility, recruitment, consent, and attrition - Determine the acceptability among patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses of doing spine surgery under spinal anesthesia - Gather preliminary data on outcomes relevant to a future dose-finding study Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: - General anesthesia with endotracheal tube - Spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine - Spinal anesthesia with ropivacaine
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)
The objectives of this study is to test a combination of low dose local anesthetic Bupivacaine diluted in patient's CSF with lipophilic opiate Fentanyl for optimal spinal anesthesia during Cesarean Section. The dilution of Bupivacaine with CSF in our study would result in effective spinal anesthesia with relatively limited motor block, quick recovery of motor function and relatively long lasting analgesia. We expect lower incidence of side effects with this combination than with convenient dose of Bupivacaine.
