Low-dose Bupivacaine with Dexmedetomidine Prevents Hypotension After Spinal Anesthesia
Background: We assessed whether intrathecal low-dose bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine could reduce the incidence of spinal anesthesia (SA)-related hypotension. Methods: In total, 47 patients undergoing urological or orthopedic surgery under SA were randomized into two groups. SA was induced using 12.5 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine alone (Group B; n = 24 patients) or 6 mg of hyperbaric bupivacain...
متن کاملEffect of position changes after spinal anesthesia with low-dose bupivacaine in elderly patients: sensory block characteristics and hemodynamic changes
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to compare the anesthetic characteristics in elderly patients who remain in sitting position for 2 min compared with patients that are placed in supine position after induction of spinal anesthesia. METHODS Fifty-seven patients scheduled for transurethral surgery were randomized to assume supine position immediately after 6.5 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine w...
متن کامل[Unilateral spinal anesthesia with low 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine dose.].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Unilateral spinal anesthesia may be advantageous, especially for outpatient procedures. Low anesthetic doses, pencil point or cutting point needles, slow injection rate and the lateral position have been reported as helping unilateral spinal anesthesia technique. This longitudinal study aimed at investigating the depth of unilateral spinal anesthesia with 5 mg of 0.5% ...

متن کاملEffects of intrathecal dexmedetomidine on low-dose bupivacaine spinal anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy.
Low-dose bupivacaine can limit the spinal block level with minimal hemodynamic effects and yield a rapid recovery, but sometimes it may not provide adequate anesthesia for surgery. Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenoreceptor agonist, was shown to be a potent antinociceptive agent when given intrathecally in animals and humans. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adjuvant effects of...
