Abstract:
UNLABELLED:To evaluate the influence of needle type on the lateral distribution of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine, 30 patients undergoing lower limb surgery were placed in the lateral position with the side to be operated on dependent and underwent dural puncture by either a 25-gauge Whitacre (n = 15) or a 25-gauge Quincke (n = 15) spinal needle. The needle hole was turned toward the dependent side and 8 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine was injected over 30 s. The lateral position was maintained for 15 min while a blind observer recorded loss of pinprick sensation and degree of motor block on both the dependent and nondependent sides every 5 min until regression of motor block by 1 degree on the dependent side. Thirty minutes after the patients were placed in the supine position, unilateral sensory block was observed in 10 patients in the Whitacre group (66%) and in 2 patients in the Quincke group (13%) (P < 0.05). No differences in the rate of unilateral motor block were observed (73% and 40% in Whitacre and Quincke groups, respectively). We conclude that when a small dose of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine is injected slowly into patients in the lateral position for 15 min, the Whitacre spinal needle provides a more marked differential block of sensory nerve roots between dependent and nondependent sides compared with the Quincke needle. IMPLICATIONS:Because unilateral spinal anesthesia can be advantageous for lower limb surgery, we evaluated the influence of the Whitacre and Quincke spinal needle types on the lateral distribution of small-dose 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine injected slowly into adult patients.
