Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the effects of different routes of local anesthetic administration in epidural anesthesia applied to patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P). ASA I-III 60 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomized into the following three groups: in Group N (needle), total dose of local anesthetic was administered through the Tuohy needle (n=20), in Group C (catheter), local anesthetic was administered through the epidural catheter (n=20) and in Group N/C (needle/catheter), local anestetic was administered half volume through the needle and half through the catheter (n=20). Hemodynamics, times to reach sensory block T10 (block levels), side effects, patient and surgeon satisfaction were evaluated.

Conditions

  • Epidural Catheter
  • Epidural Analgesia
  • Geriatric Cardiology
  • Urologic Disorders
  • Hemodynamic (MAP) Stability
  • Pain Management
