Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
To permit early, intra-operative recognition of neurologic deficits in Spinal surgery, the use of i'.I.V.A. (Total Intravnous Anesthesia) with Propofol (Diprivan), Fcntanyl and N2O for the proposed wake-up lest and availability for early post-operative neurologic examination is investigated in the study. The investigation is carried on by Dokuz Eyliil University Medical School, Ancsthcsiology and Orthopaedics Departments. 15 female and 5 male, a total of 20 patients are included in the study. Intra-operalive wake-up lest is performed with success and without a complication in all of the patients. In-early post-operative period, following the last skin suture a complete neurologic examination was done in 5 to 13 minutes, in average 9,0 + 0.70 minutes. Consequently, it's concluded that this enasthesia technique is useful in spinal surgery and especially for the wake-up test.
