Study aim
-
In this study, the sensory and motor blockade effects of hyperbaric bupivacaine applied to patients undergoing anorectal surgery were compared in reverse trandelenburg position at 0, 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90 degree back angles.

Design
-
Heavy bupivacaine is frequently used in the surgical field for subarochnoid block. While bupivacaine is the
0.5% plain form that does not contain dextrose, the hyperbaric form is the form that emerges with the
addition of glucose (80 mg/ml) to plain bubivacaine. The effectiveness of hyperbaric bupivacaine has been
studied in many studies, and the sensory block pattern has been observed to be more predictable in
hyperbaric bupivacaine than in bupivacaine. Another difference between hyperbaric and plan bupivacaine is
the nature and duration of motor block.
-
Settings and conduct
-
All patients were given 7 ml/kg 0.9% NaCl preoperatively. During the operation, patients underwent electrocardiography, non-invasive blood pressure and pulse-oximetry monitoring. With spinal anesthesia in a sitting position, a 25-gauge (G) pencil-tipped spinal needle (BD Quincke) was administered to the lumbosacral region and 2 cc (10 mg) hyperbaric bupivacaine was administered to the subarachnoid space from the L3-4 space.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) I-II patients, aged between 18-50, who were planned for elective anorectal surgery, were included in the study. Patients who were morbidly obese, used anticoagulants or salicylates, had coagulation disorders, or had psychiatric or neurological problems were not included in the study.

Intervention groups
-
6 groups, 150 patients
