Conditions

Day Case Surgery, Intralipid Infusion, Spinal Anesthesia

Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of intralipid infusion on reversing the spinal anesthesia effect in day case surgery.

Detailed description

The increasing demand for day-case surgery has led to a growing interest in developing strategies to provide patients with a more convenient, cost-effective, and less invasive alternative to traditional inpatient procedures. Spinal anesthesia, in particular, is a widely used technique in day-case surgery due to its ability to provide excellent analgesia with minimal side effects. Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy is commonly used to treat local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) and has demonstrated some efficacy in treating other drug toxicities, particularly cardiotoxicity from lipophilic drugs.

Interventions

Patients (\>70kg will receive 100 ml, \<70 will receive 1.5ml/kg) of 20% intravenous lipid emulsion at the end of surgery as a study group.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Onset time of the motor blockIntraoperativelyThe onset time of the motor block using the modified Bromage scale will be assessed. The motor block will be measured when the maximum dermatomal spread is achieved using the modified Bromage scale (0: no motor block, 1: hip blocked, 2: hip and knee blocked, and 3: hip, knee, and ankle blocked).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time till home readiness24 hours postoperativelyThe time to home readiness will be assessed as the time from the end of surgery until the patients reached a post-anesthesia discharge score (PADS) ≥9 and are able to void spontaneously.
Time to the 1st rescue analgesia24 hours postoperativelyTime to the first request for the rescue analgesia (time from end of surgery to first dose of tramadol administrated).
Total tramadol consumption24 hours postoperativelyRescue analgesia of 100mg IV tramadol will be given if the numerical rating scale (NRS)\> 3 to be repeated after 30 min if pain persists (with maximum dose 400mg) until the NRS \< 4.
Duration of motor blockIntraoperativelyThe motor block will be measured when the maximum dermatomal spread is achieved using the modified Bromage scale (0: no motor block, 1: hip blocked, 2: hip and knee blocked, and 3: hip, knee, and ankle blocked).
Incidence of adverse events24 hours postoperativelyIncidence of adverse events such as bradycardia, urinary retention, leg paralysis, or any other complication will be recorded.
Time from the end of surgery till movement24 hours postoperativelyTime from the end of surgery till movement will be recorded.
Degree of pain24 hours postoperativelyEach patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with the numerical rating scale (NRS). NRS (0 represents no pain while 10 represents the worst pain imaginable).
