Detailed Description
-
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric Prilocaine 2% in a reduced dose (30mg) in combination with Fentanyl (25µg) in day-case lower abdominal and urologic surgeries in the geriatric population.
-
To compare between three different doses of prilocaine 2% in elderly patients undergoing day case lower abdominal and urologic surgeries.
-
To estimate the duration of stay in PACU and hospital stay with different doses of prilocaine 2% in elderly patients undergoing day case lower abdominal and urologic surgeries.

Active Comparator: ● Group P1 (N 15) Patients assigned to this group will receive intrathecal 30 mg (1.5 ml) of prilocaine 2% (Takipril, prilocaine hydrochloride 20 mg/mL, hyperbar, Sintetica) + 25 ug fentanyl (0.5 ml). |
Drug: Pilocaine 2%
Patients will be randomly allocated into the study groups according to the list of random numbers. The study groups will be as follows:
Group P1 (N 15): patients assigned to this group will receive intrathecal 30 mg (1.5 ml) of prilocaine 2% (Takipril, prilocaine hydrochloride 20 mg/mL, hyperbar, Sintetica) + 25 ug fentanyl (0.5 ml).
Group P2 (N 15): patient assigned to this group will receive intrathecal 40 mg (2 ml) of prilocaine 2% + 25 ug fentanyl (0.5 ml).
Group P3 (N 15): patient assigned to this group will receive intrathecal 50 mg (2.5 ml) of prilocaine 2% + 25 ug fentanyl (0.5 ml).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Duration of motor Block in hours [Through Study Completion,an average of 1day]
The primary outcome measure will be duration of motor Block in minutes, defined as the duration between intrathecal drug injection and time to unassisted ambulation or Bromage's score = 0 (no motor block).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Onset of sensory block in minutes [Through Study Completion,an average of 1day]
Onset of sensory block, defined as the duration between intrathecal drug injection and complete absence of skin sensation to the pinprick test at T10 dermatome level in minutes.
- Onset of motor block in minutes [Through Study Completion,an average of 1day]
Onset of motor block, defined as the duration between intrathecal drug injection and reaching a Bromage's score ≥ 2 in minutes.
- Highest dermatomal level of sensory block. [Through Study Completion,an average of 1day]
Highest dermatomal level of sensory block.
- Time to reach to highest sensory block in minutes. [Through study completion,an average of 1day]
Time to reach to highest sensory block in minutes.
- Motor block at the time of reaching highest sensory block. [through study completion,an average of 1day]
Motor block at the time of reaching highest sensory block.
- Full regression of sensory block [Through Study Completion,an average of 1day]
Full regression of sensory block, defined as the duration between intrathecal drug injection and regression to the S2 dermatome in minutes.
- Duration of PACU stay [Through Study Completion,an average of 1day]
Duration of Post Anesthesia Care Unit stay in minutes.
- The incidence of adverse effects [Through Study Completion,an average of 1day]
The incidence of adverse effects like hypotension, bradycardia, apnea, nausea, shivering, pruritus, block failure and pain during the operation. Failure to achieve a block level of T10 or additional analgesia request will be considered as block failure. Hypotension will be defined as a systolic blood pressure of < 90 mmHg or a decrease in mean arterial pressure of more than 20% from baseline preoperative value and bradycardia will be defined as heart rate < 50 beat/min.
