NCT00616044 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 240

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In major orthopaedic surgery of the lower extremities both continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) and combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSE) are safe and reliable anaesthesia methods. Our results suggest that both continuous spinal anesthesia and combined spinal epidural anesthesia provide good surgical conditions with a low incidence of complications. The sensory block level and hemodynamic changes were lesser with CSA.
