A Comparative Randomised Study of the Analgesic Effect of Local Infiltration or Spinal Block for Haemorrhoidectomy

Description:

This is a prospective, randomized study, including 40 patients between 18 and 60 years, of
both genders, ASA 1 or 2.

Patients in group 1( n= 19 ) will be submitted to spinal block and group 2 (n=21) to local
infiltration. The spinal block will be performed with 10 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine. The
infiltration will be performed with 10 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine on each side.

Will be evaluated: intensity of pain on a numerical scale from 0 to 10 every 30 minutes,
relaxation of the sphincter muscles, intensity of pain after the operation every 30 minutes
until reached the criteria for discharge, motor blocked of the lower limbs every 30 minutes,
BP, HR, SO2, FR, other items that determine the conditions of discharge (urine output, nausea
and vomiting), time to hospital discharge, and duration of analgesia.

Adverse effects and complications will be noted.
