- W1992079900 abstract "Extended spinal anaesthesia using a spinal micro-catheter was used as a primary method of anaesthesia for elective colorectal cancer surgery in 68 high risk patients over a 14-year period in our institution. The technique was also useful in eight elective and 13 emergency abdominal surgeries. All patients suffered from severe chronic obstructive airway disease requiring multiple inhalers and drugs (ASA III). Thirty nine of these patients also suffered from angina, myocardial infarction, diabetes and other systemic diseases (ASA IV). Surgery included right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, total colectomy, sigmoid colectomy, Hartman's resection, anterior resection of rectum, abdominoperineal resection, cholecystectomy (open and laparoscopic) and obstructed inguinal hernia requiring laparotomy. Spinal anaesthesia was performed under strict aseptic conditions with a 22 gauge spinal needle with a mixture consisting of 2.75 ml of 0.5% heavy bupivacaine and 0.25 ml of fentanyl (25 μg). This was followed by placement of a spinal micro-catheter and the duration of anaesthesia was extended by intermittent injection of 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine. Brief hypotension occurred in 12.4% of patients during the establishment of anaesthetic block height to T6-7 and was duly treated with intravenous administration of fluid and ephedrine hydrochloride. Good anaesthesia resulted in all patients except for brief discomfort in some patients during hemicolectomy surgery possibly due to the dissection and traction on the peritoneum causing irritation to the diaphragm. The use of sedation was avoided. General anaesthesia was administered in one patient and this patient required postoperative ventilation and cardiovascular support in the Intensive Care Unit. The spinal micro-catheter was removed at the end of surgery. Postoperative pain relief was obtained by administering intravenous morphine through a patient controlled analgesia machine in the critical care ward area (High Dependency Unit). There was a low incidence of minor postoperative side effects such as nausea (14.6%), vomiting (7.9%), minor post dural puncture headache (5.6%) and pruritus (5.6%). We conclude that spinal anaesthesia with a micro-catheter may be used as a primary method of anaesthesia for colorectal cancer surgery and other major abdominal surgery in high-risk patients for whom general anaesthesia would be associated with higher morbidity and mortality." @default.
