Our patients were ranked between 90–100 years old with ASA score IV, in which we highlight the presence of ischemic heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.MethodsInvasive hemodynamic measurement was performed before CSA technique. Given the lack of microcatheter-over-the-needle kits in our center, we performed the technique using Perifix® Complete Set – B Braun, with full aseptic technique. The 18G Tuohy needle was introduced via a midline approach until CSF was encountered. The 20G catheter was then introduced 3cm into the subarachnoid space. In all situations we opted for the administration of sufentanil 0.0025 mg plus subsequent aliquots of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.125%, guided by sensory assessment of block level.ResultsAll surgeries were successfully concluded with minimal haemodynamic variation and avoidance of mechanical invasive ventilation. Patients were admitted in the PACU, where spinal catheters were removed, and continued their recovery at the speciality yard. No complications were observed, particularly post-dural puncture headache, neurologic or infectious events.ConclusionsCSA is a useful anesthetic technique with a low failure rate. Its best role is likely to be in high-risk surgical patients, as it can provide excellent blockade conditions, with small doses of LA and little haemodynamic variation frequently seen with single shot techniques.","PeriodicalId":403463,"journal":{"name":"Central nerve blocks","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127939706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Department of Anaesthesia, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland; Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland 10.1136/rapm-2021-ESRA.51 Background and Aims Total knee arthroplasty is a very common surgical procedure in daily practice and its number is constantly increasing. Some studies have reported that general anaesthesia was associated with greater hemodynamic instability, but this paradigm has since been disputed. The aim of this study is to evaluate intraoperative hemodynamic stability during total knee arthroplasty according to the type of anaesthesia. The hypothesis is that hemodynamic stability is better preserved during spinal anaesthesia (SA) compared to general anaesthesia (GA). Methods Adults undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty were retrospectively selected over a period of 10 years. Primary outcome was the presence of a hemodynamic instability defined by a norepinephrine infusion started when the variation of patient‘s blood pressure exceeded 30% of its baseline value for more than 5 minutes. Secondary outcomes included mean intraoperative dose of ephedrine, mean blood loss, and mean volume of fluid administered. Demographic data and anaesthetic strategy were extracted. Patients receiving SA versus GA were compared for the different variables. Results Demographic data are displayed in table 1. Patients under SA received less ephedrine (p<0.0001), less infusion of norepinephrine (p<0.0001) and less intraoperative fluids (p<0.0001) than patients under GA, while blood loss was similar between groups (p=0.29) (table 2). Conclusions Patients under SA have a better intraoperative hemodynamic stability, as they required less vasopressors than patients under GA. 52 LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUT HEMODYNAMIC AND RESPIRATORY DISTURBANCES FOLLOWING SPINAL ANESTHESIA FOR CESAREAN SECTION: A CASE REPORT AAGPS Jaya*, AR Tantri, P Pryambodho.
