Materials and Methods: 40 ASA I-III patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair randomly
received unilateral (n= 20) or bilateral (n= 20) spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric …

Background: For performing inguinal hernia surgeries, giving spinal anesthesia is a well
known technique as it easy and provides fast onset, effective sensory and motor blockade in …

Introduction: Unilateral spinal anaesthesia can be used for inguinal hernia surgery. The
advantage is that it provides a stronger block on the side of surgery, accelerated recovery of …

IMPLICATIONS: Comparing spinal block produced with 8 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine
0.5%, 8 mg of hyperbaric levobupivacaine 0.5%, and 12 mg of hyperbaric ropivacaine 0.5 …

Background. Hyperbaric 2% prilocaine produces a faster onset and shorter duration of
spinal anesthesia than a plain solution. The anesthetic profile could be improved by …

Materials and Methods: We studied 90 ASA I and II patients who were undergoing inguinal
hernia repair. They were randomly allocated into three groups (n30) to receive either 8 mg of …

Purpose We hypothesized that cooling hyperbaric bupivacaine from 23 to 5° C may limit the
intrathecal spread of bupivacaine and therefore increase the success rate of unilateral …

Materials and Methods: After Ethics Committee approval and written informed consent, 60
patients premedicated with midazolam 0.1-0.075 mg iv, ASA I-II, 23-62 yr old were randomly …

Methods Adult patients were randomised to spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric articaine 84
mg (group A, n= 40) or hyperbaric bupivacaine 7 mg along with fentanyl 10 μg (group B+ F …

Objective To determine the characteristic profiles of 2 hypobaric spinal anesthetic solutions
for selective spinal anesthesia in inguinal herniorrhaphy. Methods The study took place in …
