• Conditions: Anesthesia; Time
• Interventions: Procedure: regional anesthesia

• Registration Number: NCT01499589
• Lead Sponsor: Mahidol University

Brief Summary

Study of time usage of anesthesia team inside the main operating room compares between 2 groups of

* Performing regional anesthesia inside the operating room

* Performing regional anesthesia in the block room

Study purpose: How much will the investigators save time in the main operating room if we perform the regional anesthesia in the block room?

We also compares the anesthesia-controlled time in 3 groups of

* general anesthesia
