Comparison of Complications between Gender during Spinal Anesthesia

Comparison of blood pressure measurements on the upper and lower extremities during spinal anesthesia

Introduction: During spinal anesthesia, measurement of blood pressure is often obtained by an indirect method using an inflatable cuff on the upper arm. The relationship between the blood pressure measurements at the two sites in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia is unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the difference observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP) taken from the upp...

Comparison of Total Calcium Level during General and Spinal Anesthesia in Gynecologic Abdominal Surgeries

 Background: Calcium (Ca+2) plays an important role in many biophysiological mechanisms .The present study was carried out to assess alterations in total serum calcium level before and after operations in consider to the type of anesthesia. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 74 women who candidate for gynecological abdominal operations during one year at Al-z...

Comparison of the effects and complications of unilateral spinal anesthesia versus standard spinal anesthesia in lower-limb orthopedic surgery.

INTRODUCTION A restricted sympathetic block during spinal anesthesia may minimize hemodynamic changes. This prospective randomized study compared unilateral and bilateral spinal anesthesia with respect to the intra- and postoperative advantages and complications of each technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Spinal anesthesia was induced with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine and a 25-G Quincke needle (Dr...

Comparison Between Spinal and General Anesthesia in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

BACKGROUND Hemodynamic stability and blood loss reduction are subjects to further consideration in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNCL). OBJECTIVES This study compared the preference of spinal anaesthesia (SA) or general anaesthesia (GA) in respect to mentioned concerns. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this randomized clinical trial, 59 patients who underwent PCNL divided into SA...
