Induction position for spinal anaesthesia: sitting versus lateral position.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of induction position on block characteristics (sensory and motor nerves) and haemodynamic stability in elderly patients with isobaric bupivacaine. Patient comfort was also looked at. METHODS The randomized single blinded study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from September 2007 to August 2008. A total of 70 patients aged >60 years o...
متن کاملComparison of ease of induction of spinal anaesthesia in sitting with legs parallel on the table versus traditional sitting position
Introduction It is sometimes difficult for some patients to optimally flex their hips and knees making traditional position for induction of spinal anaesthesia difficult to achieve. The ease of induction of spinal anaesthesia was compared with patients in sitting position with legs remaining on the table (new sitting method) versus legs placed on the side stool (traditional sitting method).

متن کاملSpinal anaesthesia with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in elderly patients: effects of duration spent in the sitting position.
Sixty patients, aged 65-84 yr, undergoing minor urological surgery under spinal anaesthesia remained sitting for 2 (group 1, n = 15), 5 (group 2, n = 15), 10 (group 3, n = 15), or 20 (group 4, n = 15) min after completion of the subarachnoid administration of 3 ml of a 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine solution. They were then placed in the supine position. Analgesia levels were assessed bilaterally ...

conclusions in squatting position the number of spinal needle-bone contacts was lower compared to the traditional sitting position, nonetheless ease of needle insertion or space identification was the same in the both groups. results the total number of spinal needle bone contact was statistically lower in the squatting position compared to traditional sitting position group (222 versus 230 res...
متن کاملcomparison of successful spinal needle placement between crossed-leg sitting position and traditional sitting position in patients undergoing urology surgery
results the rate of first-time successful spinal needle insertion was not significantly different between the clsp and tsp groups (62.9% versus 55.7%, p > 0.05). ease of landmark palpation in the clsp group was not significantly different from that in the tsp group (86.7% versus 76.4%, p > 0.05). the number of needle-bone contacts in both groups were not significantly different (p > 0.05). the ...
