Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative advantage and disadvantage between general (GA) and spinal anesthesia (SA). Material and Methods: Sixty patients (randomize GA,n=30, SA,n=30) undergoing lumbar disc surgery were enrolled. Patients were matched for demographic data, perioperative physiological changes, pain score, amount of blood loss, surgeon ‘satisfaction, periope...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamic responses to spinal anesthesia (SA) for cesarean delivery in patients with severe preeclampsia are poorly understood. This study used a beat-by-beat monitor of cardiac output (CO) to characterize the response to SA. The hypothesis was that CO would decrease from baseline values by less than 20%. METHODS Fifteen patients with severe preeclampsia consented to an observati...

BACKGROUND The conversion of epidural labor analgesia (ELA) to epidural surgical anesthesia (ESA) for intrapartum cesarean section (CS) often fails, resulting in intraoperative pain. Spinal anesthesia (SA) can provide a denser sensory block than ESA. The purpose of this prospective, non-blinded, parallel-arm, randomized trial was to compare the rate of pain-free surgery between ESA and SA follo...

BACKGROUND Either general or regional anesthesia can be used for lumbar disk surgery. The common anesthetic technique is general anesthesia (GA). The aim of this study was to compare the intra and postoperative outcomes of spinal anesthesia (SA) with GA in these patients. METHODS Seventy-two patients were enrolled in the study. They were randomized into two groups with 37 patients in GA Group...

Hypotension is the most common adverse effect of spinal anesthesia (SA). The insidence SA-induced hypotension in total population 15-33%, patients older age groups it reaches 80%. At young and middle ages, main determinant considered to be a reduction postload venous reflux, due blood deposition capacitance vessels lower extremities. aortocaval compressionsyndromeplays significant role obstetri...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair is a well-known approach to inguinal hernia repair that is usually performed under general anesthesia (GA). To date, no reports compare the efficacy of spinal anesthesia (SA) with that of GA for laparoscopic hernia repairs. The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcome of TEP inguinal hernia repair perfor...

conclusions the results of this study demonstrated that spinal anesthesia increased the chance of fertilization success. results there was no difference between the two groups regarding demographic variables. 15 of 100 patients (15%) in the general anesthesia group and 27 of 100 patients (27%) in the spinal anesthesia group had successful pregnancy after ivf; so, spinal anesthesia increased sig...

conclusions it seems that, in patients undergoing pncl, sa is as effective and safe as ga. patients who undergo pncl under sa require smaller amounts of analgesic dose and show hemodynamic stability during surgery and recovery time. also, sa technique provides decreased blood loss and shortened surgery as well as anesthesia times compared to ga. results map and heart rate show no significant di...

BACKGROUND Spinal anesthesia (SA) is a standard technique for cesarean section. Hypotension presents an incident of 80-85% after SA in pregnant women. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of intermittent pneumatic compression of lower limbs on declining spinal anesthesia induced hypotension during cesarean section. METHODS This double-blind clinical prospective study was conducted on 76 non-la...

The objective of this study was to determine if bupivacaine has any effects on the antioxidant defence system and in lipid peroxidation as thiobarbituric acid substance (TBARS) of spinal fluid. The experiment was carried out on 15 male clinically healthy, 3-4 years old, male Tuj ram weighing an average 56±5 kg. Eight ml of 0.5% bupivacaine was used for the induction of spinal anesthesia (SA). T...
