Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of spinal anesthesia by hyperbaric prilocaine in day-case perianal surgery.

Detailed Description

Day-case spinal anesthesia with short-acting local anesthetics such as lidocaine and chloroprocaine can provide short times to discharge. However, the association of lidocaine with transient neurologic symptoms (TNS) and chloroprocaine with neurologic injury has limited the use of these agents in spinal anesthesia.

Hyperbaric bupivacaine has been used for spinal anesthesia for decades owing to the low incidence of TNS.

Prilocaine is also an amide local anesthetic that has an intermediate duration of action. It is available in the hyperbaric form that can be used for spinal anesthesia in day-case surgeries.

Hyperbaric prilocaine provides faster spinal block onset and earlier patient recovery in ambulatory surgery compared to plain prilocaine.

GroupInterventionDescription
Hyperbaric prilocaine groupHyperbaric prilocainePatients will receive 1.5 ml (30 mg) 0.5% hyperbaric prilocaine.
Hyperbaric bupivacaine groupHyperbaric bupivacainePatients will receive 1.5 ml (7.5 mg) 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time till home readiness24 hours postoperatively

The time-to-home readiness will be assessed as the time from the end of surgery until the patients reached a post-anesthesia discharge score (PADS) ≥9 and were able to void spontaneously or receive a urinary catheter, and the sensory block resolved to the S3 dermatome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to block regression6 hours postoperatively

The time to block regression will be from intrathecal injection until sensation is regained at the S1 dermatome.

Time of onset of motor blockIntraoperatively

The time of onset of the motor block will be assessed from intrathecal injection of local anesthetic until a grade 3 Bromage score is achieved

Time to spontaneous voiding24 hours postoperatively

Time to spontaneous voiding will be recorded.

Time to the 1st rescue analgesia24 hours postoperatively

Time to the first request for the rescue analgesia will be recorded from end of surgery to first dose of pethidine administrated

Total ketorolac consumption24 hours postoperatively

Total ketorolac consumption will be recorded. If the numerical rating scale (NRS) becomes ≥3, 30 mg ketorolac IM will be given when needed (maximum every six hours).

Heart rateEvery 10 min till the end of surgery (up to 1 hour)

Heart rate will be recorded throughout the operation: every 5 minutes for the first 15 minutes and every 10 minutes until the end of the surgery.

Mean arterial pressureEvery 10 min till the end of surgery (up to 1 hour)

Mean arterial pressure will be recorded throughout the operation: every 5 minutes for the first 15 minutes and every 10 minutes until the end of the surgery.

Incidence of adverse events24 hours postoperatively

Incidence of adverse events such as postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), voiding difficulty, or any other complication.
