Comparison of three different doses of intrathecal levobupivacaine in urological surgery

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı transüretral endoskopik cerrahide intratekal izobarik ve hiperbarik levobupivakainin etkinliğini kıyaslamaktır. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, spinal anestezi altında elektif ürolojik cerrahi planlanan olgular alındı. Olgular rastgele 20 hastadan oluşan üç gruba ayrıldı. İntratekal yolla toplamda 3'er ml, Grup 1 olgulara (n=20) 13.5 mg hiperbarik levobupivakain, Grup 2 olgulara (n=20) 12.5 mg izobarik levobupivakain ve Grup 3 olgulara (n=20) 15 mg izobarik levobupivakain uygulandı. Tüm olgularda duyusal ve motor blok, hemodinamik parametreler, ağrı skorları, yan etkiler ve analjezik gereksinimler kaydedildi. Bulgular: Ortalama T10 duyusal blok ve Bromage 0'a ulaşma süreleri açısından gruplar arası farklılık saptandı (p

Ürolojik cerrahide üç farklı intratekal levobupivakain dozunun karşılaştırılması

Objectives: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy of hyperbaric and isobaric solutions of intrathecal levobupivacaine for transurethral endoscopic surgery. Patients and Methods: The study included urological patients who were scheduled for elective surgery under spinal anesthesia. The cases were randomly divided into three groups of 20 patients each. Group 1 received 13.5 mg hyperbaric levobupivacaine, group 2 received 12.5 mg isobaric levobupivacaine and group 3 received 15 mg isobaric levobupivacaine in a total volume of 3 ml intrathecally. Sensory and motor block, hemodynamic parameters, pain scores, adverse effects and analgesic requirements of the patients were recorded. Results: The time to reach T10 sensory block and the onset time to Bromage 0 were statistically different among the three groups (p<0.05). The mean time to reach T10 was significantly lower in group 1 when compared with group 2 (p<0.001). Regarding the mean onset time to Bromage 0, group 1 had a lower mean value than that of group 3 (p<0.001). The mean duration for analgesic requirement was longer in group 1 than in groups 2 and 3 (p<0.001 and p<0.05, respectively). Conclusion: We concluded that the clinical efficacy of hyperbaric levobupivacaine was superior to the isobaric forms in spinal anesthesia for transurethral endoscopic surgery.
