Spinal Anesthesia with Low-Dose Bupivacaine-Fentanyl Combination: A Good Alternative for Day Case Transurethral Resection of Prostrate Surgery in Geriatric Patients

Abstract

Intrathecal 4 mg bupivacaine + 25 μg fentanyl provided adequate spinal anesthesia with shorter block duration and postanesthesia care unit stay with stable hemodynamic profile than intrathecal 50 mg prilocaine + 25 μg fentanyl for day case transurethral resection of prostate surgery in geriatric patients.
