Brief summary

this study was administered Preservative-free ketamine 15 mg plus bupivacaine 10 mg (Marcaine) 0.5%, and in the B group bupivacaine 10 mg (Marcaine) 0.5% alone, Our hypothesis is that there are a significant relationship between the duration of analgesia, length of sensory and motor blockade between ketamine, fentanyl, and bupivacaine groups intraoperative and post-operative.

Interventions

Interventional group was administered Preservative-free ketamine 15 mg plus bupivacaine 10 mg (Marcaine) 0.5%, and in the B group was administered bupivacaine 10 mg (Marcaine) 0.5% alone. The strategies we’re used to evaluate the patient through self monitoring and closed observation. An anesthesiologist performed the spinal puncture by pencil-point spinal needle (27 Fr) between the L3 to L4 or L4–L5 vertebrae with the patient in a sitting position on the side of the operation table.
