Comparative Analysis of Hypobaric Versus Hyperbaric Bupivacaine for Spinal Anesthesia in Day-Case Anorectal Surgery

In this study, it is aimed to reduce long hospital stays and postoperative complications by comparing the postoperative mobilization, urination and discharge times of the patients after spinal anesthesia using 5mg hypobaric and 5 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients who will undergo outpatient anorectal surgery. After the approval of the ethics committee in the operating room of the Ankara City Hospital, 68 patients who will undergo day surgery due to anorectal disease will be included in the study. This study was planned as observational. Both genders, American society of anesthesiology(ASA) score 1-2, 68 patients between the ages of 18-65 will be included in the study. The patients will be evaluated in 2 groups of 34 people. Patients with routine preoperative preparation, ECG, Spo2( oxygen saturation) and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring in the operating room and throughout the study will be included. Written informed consent will be obtained from patients. ECG, Spo2 and noninvasive blood pressure monitoring of the patients who are taken back to the hospitalization service for postoperative follow-up after the operation will continue. Patients will be followed up with: half-hourly intervals, first analgesic requirement, urination, mobilization times. If there are no complications, the patients will be discharged. The next day, patients will be called and questioned in terms of spinal anesthesia-related complications (headache, low back pain, urinary dysfunction…) and their anesthetic satisfaction will be noted. A total of minimum 68 (n1=34, n2=34) patients with effect size d=0.80, α=0.05 were found to be sufficient for 90% power in the sample size calculation. Parameters to look at: Operation time Intraoperative and postoperative vital monitoring need for sedation Time of sensory block to reach s4 dermatome The highest dermatome reached by sensory block Loss time of sensory block Modified bromage scale (5 minutes after spinal cord, end of operation, 1 postoperative 15 minutes, time to zero value) Time to first postoperative analgesic requirement Postoperative urination time Postoperative mobilization time Presence of complications related to spinal anesthesia patient satisfaction.
