Clinical Trial – Comparison of Three Different Sitting Positions for Performing Combined Spinal-Epidural Anesthesia

May 17, 2018 | , , ,

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.

Clinical Trial – Comparative Study Between Bilateral and Unilateral Spinal Anaesthesia

Mar 29, 2013 | , , ,

The purpose of this study is to compare unilateral spinal anesthesia using hyperbaric
Prilocaine with "classical bilateral spinal anesthesia" using plain Prilocaine according to
block characteristics and quality of micturition, standardized to the subjects own functional
bladder capacity. Our hypothesis is that unilateral spinal anesthesia will provide faster
time to micturtition and discharge, lesser hypotension and lesser micturition problems.
