Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Bupivacaine

Bupivacaine is a long-lasting dense sensory-motor block that can last up to four hours. It will be administered once, as part of the spinal anesthetic. The dosage varies based on age and joint, from 6.75 mg to 8.25 mg for the knee, and 7.5 mg to 9 mg for the hip.

DRUG

Ropivacaine

Ropivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic that is known for its differential sensory-motor block. It will be administered once, as part of the spinal anesthetic. The dosage varies based on age and joint, from 9 mg to 11 mg for the knee, and 10 mg to 12 mg for the hip.

DRUG

Mepivacaine

Mepivacaine is an intermediate-acting local anesthetic producing shorting and motor-sparing blocks. It will be administered once, as part of the spinal anesthetic. The dosage varies based on age and joint, from 40 mg to 50 mg for the knee, and 45 mg to 55 mg for the hip.
