Comparison of hemodynamic stability of combined spinal anesthesia with low dose spinal anesthesia and epidural volume extension by saline as compared to epidural anaesthesia for patients undergoing elective lower limb surgery
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Administration of saline in epidural space following intrathecal drug administration constitutes Epidural Volume Extension. In our study we involved 40 patients who were planned to undergo elective lower limb surgery, who were randomized into two groups of 20 each. 20 patients in Group EV received low dose of spinal anesthesia with epidural volume extension by saline, and 20 patients in Group E received conventional epidural anesthesia. From our study it was seen that the patients in Group EV had quicker onset of sensory block, and stable hemodynamic parameters as compared to patients in Group E.
