Summary

Geriatric patients have a significantly higher incidence of morbidity and morality during surgery compared with younger age group. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard treatment for elderly patients with bladder outlet obstruction. Thus Regional techniques may be better tolerated in the elderly patients undergoing TURP having the advantages of minimizing blood loss and thromboembolic events. The Wiley Spinal™ (Epimed; Johnstown, NY) catheter is an innovative flexible cannula over needle designed for convenient intrathecal access that reduces PDPH. We hypothesized that using less anesthetics during continuous spinal anesthesia with the Wiley spinal catheter would offer more hemodynamic stability with less side effects when compared with continuous epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing TURP

Conditions

  • Anesthesia; Adverse Effect, Spinal and Epidural

Interventions

DEVICE

Epidural (B. Braun)

20-gauge epidural catheter threaded cephalad through an 18 gauge needle identified by the loss of resistance method to air.

DEVICE

Spinal (Wiley Spinal Catheter)

The Wiley Spinal® is an innovative Flexible Cannula over Needle designed for convenient intrathecal access. After dural puncture is achieved, an immediate dural seal is created. The flexible cannula is advanced off the needle ensuring cephalad delivery of medication.
