Özet

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the affects of supplementation of fentanyl to rapid administered low dose hyperbaric bupivacaine for unilateral spinal anaesthesia in arthroscopic surgery. Thirty patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery were placed in the lateral position. After dural puncture (25-gauge Whitacre spinal needle), the needle hole was turned toward the dependent side and patients were randomly assigned to receive 7.5 mg of 0.5 % hyperbaric bupivacaine (Group I, n=15) or 7.5 mg of 0.5 % hiperbaric bupivacaine + 25 ?g fentanyl (Group II, n=15). Lateral and horizontal positions were maintained for 15 min before the patients were turned to supine position. Sensory block levels were assessed with three minutes intervals during lateral position and 5 minutes intervals during supine position and motor block levels were assessed with 15 minutes intervals. Spinal anaesthesia was unilateral in 80 % of group I and 13 % of group II at the end of the 15 min; after 60 min, spinal anaesthesia was unilateral in 80 % of group I and 0 % of group II (p<0.005). We conclude that fentanyl supplementation to low dose hyperbaric bupivacaine was disadvantageous in obtaining unilateral spinal anaesthesia although we can obtain long-term sensory block.
