Summary

The study evaluates the efficacy of two different anesthetic techniques in patients undergoing unilateral knee arthroscopy. Participants will be randomized to receive either subarachnoid block with 2-chloroprocaine or general anesthesia plus intravenous fentanyl.

Conditions

  • Knee Arthroscopy
  • General Anesthesia
  • Subarachnoid Block

Interventions

PROCEDURE

General anesthesia

General anesthesia will be delivered per standard procedure. General anesthesia will include induction with propofol 1-3mg/kg followed by placement of a laryngeal mask airway with maintenance anesthesia of sevoflurane 0.5-1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC).

PROCEDURE

Subarachnoid block

Neuraxial anesthesia will be performed at the L2-3 or L3-4 interspace with a 25-gauge Whitacre needle in the sitting position. After free flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), 40-45mg of 2-chloroprocaine will be injected based on patient's height and discretion of attending anesthesiologist, needle withdrawn and the patient placed supine.
