Brief Summary

AIM:  The aim of the study is to compare the effect of spinal anesthesia with general anesthesia on discharge criteria for day care ureteroscopic procedures.

·    Primary objective: Attainment of discharge criteria Â· Secondary objective: to evaluate hemodynamics and occurrence of complications (Pain , Post operative nausea and vomiting).

Methodology: As per randomization cases are done under SA or GA((LMA Spontaneous) under standardized monitoring protocol

Shifted to Phase 1 recovery area where Aldrete score is checked. Patients are shifted to phase 2 recovery area when Aldrete score is 10

In Phase 2 recovery, monitoring continued for HR, NIBP, and Saturation. Patients will be made to sit in the bed with support in the 2nd hour (120 min).

During this time patients will be assessed for nausea. If no nausea complained, they will be encouraged to drink water.

At 2.5 hours (150 min) after surgery patients will be encouraged to sit at the edge of the cot with legs dangling down.

At 3 hours (180 min) they will be encouraged to stand with support (Staffs holding on either side). In spinal group standing was encouraged only after confirming return of Bromage to 1 (No detectable weakness in lower limbs).

If the patient had no complaint of giddiness they will be encouraged to walk from 4th hour (240 min).

PADSS score (Post anaesthesia discharge scoring system) which includes vital signs, gait, mental status, pain nausea and vomiting will be recorded in all patients from 4th hour (240 min) till score of 9 was achieved.

Patients will be discharged from phase 2 recovery at the end of 360 minutes i.e., 6th hour after reconfirming whether they have achieved PADSS score of 9. (In our patients PADSS of 10 will not be achieved as they will be catheterized).

Before discharge from phase 2 cognitive ability of patients using digit symbol substitution test method will be done.

Patient will be  assessed for pain using VAS score and anytime VAS is above 4, rescue analgesic Inj. Tramadol 100mg IV will be  given.

During recovery stay presence of complications like nausea, vomiting and shivering will be  also recorded.

The surgeon was asked to grade their comfort during surgery which is recorded as satisfactory score. (4-excellent, 3- Good, 2- fair, 1-poor).

Results will be submitted to statistical analysis
