Abstract

Spinal anesthesia is the most preferred method for lower extremity surgery owing to rapid onset, predictable and reliable block, and excellent postoperative analgesia. Pethidine is the only opioid that can be used as a sole anesthetic agent in spinal anesthesia, because of its local anesthetic activity which is unique. As there are scant articles about pethidine as a sole anesthetic agent in spinal anesthesia, this encouraged us to report intrathecal pethidine used for two old patents for their femoral fractures repair. Spinal anesthesia was carried out using 1.6 mL pethidine (50 mg/mL) in the sitting position in the midline approach by a 24-gauge, Quincke point needle. The patients were successfully managed with this method. This report emphasizes that in some situations, intrathecal pethidine technique is a safe, and good alternative inexpensive technique over spinal anesthesia with local anesthetics.
鞘内哌替啶作为下肢手术的唯一麻醉剂:病例报告
脊髓麻醉是下肢手术的首选方法,因为它起效迅速、阻滞效果可预测且可靠,术后镇痛效果极佳。哌替啶是脊髓麻醉中唯一可用作唯一麻醉剂的阿片类药物,因为它具有独特的局部麻醉活性。由于有关哌替啶作为脊髓麻醉中唯一麻醉剂的文章很少,这促使我们报告了鞘内哌替啶用于两项老专利的股骨骨折修复术的情况。脊髓麻醉采用 1.6 mL 哌替啶(50 mg/mL),患者取坐位,用 24 号昆克点针头从中线入路。采用这种方法成功地对患者进行了管理。本报告强调,在某些情况下,鞘内哌替啶技术是一种安全、廉价的好技术,可替代局麻药脊髓麻醉。
