Comparative Study
[Hemodynamic effects of genu-pectoral position during the surgery of lumbar disk herniation: spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia].
Spinal anesthesia (SA) for lumbar disk surgery in the genu-pectoral position (GP) has been proposed as an alternative to general anesthesia (GA). This study compares the haemodynamic effects of GP in two groups of patients undergoing either SA (n = 43) or GA (n = 40). ⋯ MAP and HR were significantly lower in the GA group after GP. We conclude that SA during GP for lumbar disk surgery is haemodynamically well tolerated.
