Spinal Or General Anesthesia For Umblical Hernia Surgery

This study was carried out at the Ministry of Health Ankara City Hospital Operating Room, after receiving ethics committee approval.Preoperative evaluation was performed before the operation in cases undergoing elective umbilical hernia surgery.Complications and side effects are explained in detail.Verbal and written consents were obtained from the subjects who agreed to participate in the study.In patients undergoing umbilical hernia surgery, general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia under propofol and ketamine (ketamine-propofol combination) sedation were compared in terms of intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamics, aldrete score, pain score, respiratory parameters, and cost. The patients, who had fasted for 8 hours before the operation, were taken to the operating room without premedication.

In all cases, a peripheral venous catheter cannulated on the dorsal part of the hand (20G, Plusflon i.v. Cannula, India) .Standard monitoring was applied.

Group1. As premedication 0.03mg/kg midazolam was administered . For spinal anesthesia, 15 mg heavy-bupivacaine, sedation was provided with ketofol.

ketamine:propofol mixture was prepared as 1:1 5mg/ml propofol and 5mg/ml ketamine

1 mg/kg ketofol administered i.v. Group2 . As premedication 0.03mg/kg midazolam was administered.In general anesthesia to all patients after induction 3 mg/kg propofol, 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium and 1 mcg/kg fentanyl Bispectral index and non-invasive blood pressure was monitored, a urinary catheter was placed. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and fentanyl to keep BIS values between 40-60.
