Summary

In this prospective and randomized study, we aimed to compare the effect of of three sitting positions (the traditional sitting position (TSP), the harmstring stretch position (HSP), and the squatting position on the success rate of combined spinal epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing total knee arhtoplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia; Adverse Effect, Spinal and Epidural
  • Hip Arthropathy
  • Knee Arthropathy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

positions of patients for combined spinal-epidural anesthesia

Patients in groups will be positioned according to the study groups for performing combined spinal epidural anesthesia.

PROCEDURE

Combined spinal epidural anesthesia

After positioning, a combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSE) will be applied using a CSE Tuohy Needle (18 G) and 27 G Whitacre spinal needle via needle - through needle technique. The epidural space will be located with loss of resistance to saline. 3 ml hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% (15 mg) will be given for spinal anesthesia after identification of subarachnoidal space.
