Conditions

Health Condition 1: null- Anaesthesia for surgical treatment of renal stones(kidney disease)

Interventions

Intervention1: Segmental Epidural Anaesthesia: In group SEA the epidural space was located with the patient in the sitting postion at T12 -L1 or L1-L2 space using the loss of resistance to salin

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. ASA I/II 2. Age - 18 years to 60 years 3. Either sex 4. BMI < 30

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Unwilling for consent 2. ASA 3 3. Obesity with BMI > 30 4. Contraindications for Epidural Anaesthesia 5. Undilated pelvicalyceal system

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Segmental Epidural anaesthesia is a safe alternative to General anaesthesia for PCNL. Haemodynamics were stable, positioning was easy, PONV was less, and post operative pain relief was better in the SEA group as compared to GA group. However this technique has to be used judiciously in patients with co morbidities and with a large stone load. Hypotension due to sympathetic blockade is always a possibility and patient cooperation due to long surgical time has to be tackled.Timepoint: All vital parameters Heart Rate, Blood pressure, saturation, end tidal carbon di oxide were monitored. Level of sensory block was monitered every 5 min for first 30 min then every 10 min till end of surgery.All the patients in both the groups were monitored post operatively for pain, Nausea and vomiting.	—
