Abstract

This study measured time and ability to walk in PACU after unilateral spinal anaesthesia.Orthopaedic adult patients ASA 1-2, in the lateral decubitus position and placed on the operative side, received via a 25-gauge Whitacre needle 5 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine plus 2.5 microg of sufentanil. Lateral decubitus was maintained for 15 minutes. Time from the spinal injection to eligibility for discharge was recorded. Discharge criteria were stable hemodynamic and ability to walk without crutches.One hundred consecutive patients (38 females), 48 +/- 15 years-old were included. Unilateral sensory block was noted in 70% of patients. The maximum level of sensory block was at L1-T12 in 30 patients, at T11-T10 in 55 patients, at T9-T8 in 6 patients and at T7-T6 in 9. Criteria for PACU discharge were completed at 140 +/- 14 min (extremes: 55-235). All patients were discharged home uneventfully.Unilateral spinal anesthesia combining bupivacaine and sufentanil gives fast ability to walk for discharge.

Abstract

Purpose: This study measured time and ability to walk in PACU after unilateral spinal anaesthesia., Methods: Orthopaedic adult patients ASA 1-2, in the lateral decubitus position and placed on the operative side, received via a 25-gauge Whitacre needle 5 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine plus 2.5 microg of sufentanil. Lateral decubitus was maintained for 15 minutes. Time from the spinal injection to eligibility for discharge was recorded. Discharge criteria were stable hemodynamic and ability to walk without crutches., Results: One hundred consecutive patients (38 females), 48 +/- 15 years-old were included. Unilateral sensory block was noted in 70% of patients. The maximum level of sensory block was at L1-T12 in 30 patients, at T11-T10 in 55 patients, at T9-T8 in 6 patients and at T7-T6 in 9. Criteria for PACU discharge were completed at 140 +/- 14 min (extremes: 55-235).
