Prevention of spinal anaesthesia-induced hypotension in the elderly: i.m. methoxamine or combined hetastarch and crystalloid.
We have compared two methods of reducing hypotension during spinal anaesthesia in elderly patients, 6% hetastarch and crystalloid or methoxamine 10 mg i.m., in terms of haemodynamic stability and requirements for additional vasopressors. Sixty-two patients (aged 60-97 yr) undergoing surgical fixation of fractured neck of femur were allocated randomly to receive 6% hetastarch (Hespan) 500 ml fol...
متن کاملPrevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section: six percent hetastarch versus lactated Ringer's solution.
This study was designed to determine whether preoperative administration of 6% hetastarch decreases the incidence and severity of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. Forty nonlaboring ASA class I and II women having nonurgent cesarean sections were randomized to receive either 500 mL of 6% hetastarch plus 1 L lactated Ringer's solution (LR) (n = 20), or 2 L of LR (n = 20) ...
متن کاملPrevention of hypotension following spinal anaesthesia in caesarean section--then and now.
Hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section remains a common scenario in our clinical practice. Certain risk factors play a role in altering the incidence of hypotension. Aortocaval compression counteraction does not help to prevent hypotension. Intravenous crystalloid prehydration has poor efficacy; thus, the focus has changed toward co-hydration and use of colloids. Phenylephr...
متن کاملPrevention of Hypotension after Spinal Anesthesia for Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Using 6% Hetastarch versus Lactated Ringer's Solution
Objective: To compare the use of 6% Hetastarch with Lactated ringer's solution for prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for transurethral resection of the prostate. Methods: In a randomized double blind study, 60 patients who underwent subarachnoid anesthesia for transurethral surgery were divided into two equal groups: group A were given Lactated ringer's solution and group B were...
متن کاملCombined Spinal Epidural Anaesthesia
Development in anaesthesia and surgery has improved over all surgical outcome during recent decades. There is still concern about the detrimental effects of operative procedures such as myocaridial infarction, pulmonary complications, thromboembolism, gastrointestinal paralysis, immunosupression etc. that cannot be attributed solely to imperfections in surgical technique. Regional anaesthesia o...
