Sažetak
Background and aims: The aim of study was to compare safety and complication of two anaesthetic techniques including local and spinal anesthesia for patients underground arthroscopic knee surgery. Methods: 436 patients received either local (Group LA=250) or spinal (Group SA=186) anesthesia during a year period. Group SA received 0, 5 % Marcaine 5 mg/mL. Group LA received portal injection (5 mL lidocaine 2% with adrenaline 1/200, 000) and intra-articular into the knee (10 mL lidocaine 2% with adrenaline 1/200, 000). The following were assessed: intraoperative pain (10 cm VAS: 0 = no pain, 10 = extreme pain), time to discharge, and postoperative analgesia. Results: In both groups 93, 6% of patients were either satisfied or very satisfied with their anesthesia. In LA group 97, 6% (244/250) patients experienced no pain during the whole procedure. Only six 6 patients (2, 4%) required conversion to general anesthesia. In SA group two patients required conversion to general anesthesia. More SA patients needed postoperative analgesics compared with the LA group (P< 0, 01). The average postoperative stay for LA group was significantly shorter (P< 0, 05) than SA group. Of the patients having LA 94% were discharged from the hospital within 2 hours of surgery (P< 0, 001). The differences in number of complications between LA and SA were statistically significant (P< 0, 05). Conclusions: We found LA favourable to SA anesthetic technique, a large variety of operative procedures were successfully completed.
