Scientific titleComparison of spinal anaesthesia with 1.5 ml hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% and total intravenous anaesthesia for minor anorectal surgery
Study objectivesMinor anorectal surgery can be performed with several anaesthesia techniques. Due to multiple irrational fears, many patients deny spinal anaesthesia and prefer a general anaesthesia. In this study we evaluate the practicability, patients' acceptability and analgetic consumption for both anaesthesia techniques in patients undergoing minor anorectal surgery.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMinor anorectal surgery
InterventionPatients with anorectal surgery are 1:1 randomised to either a spinal anaesthesia or a general anaesthesia. All patients received either:
1. A spinal anaesthesia with 1.5 ml hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% or
2. A total intravenous anaesthesia with:
2.1. 0.2 mg fentanyl and 2 mg propofol 1% per kg body weight for induction
2.2. Propofol 1% in a perfusion pump for the duration of anaesthesia, dosage depending on the demands of the patient
2.3. An orotracheal intubation
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureRecovery room time, measured on day of surgery.
Secondary outcome measuresConsumption of analgetics in the first 24 hours, measured 48 hours after surgery.
