Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Superselective spinal anesthesia for saphenectomy intervention. Comparison of 2 concentrations of hyperbaric bupivacaine].
High concentrations of intrathecal local anaesthetics may be neurotoxic. The purpose of this study was to compare the features of superselective spinal anaesthesia (ASS) obtained with an equivalent dose (5 mg) of 0.5% (available now also in Italy) and 1% hyperbaric bupivacaine. ⋯ 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine can be successfully use in ASS; early regression of motor block is especially suitable for the requirements of day surgery.
