An interventional study of General anesthesia and Neuraxial anesthesia in Anesthesia and Geriatric Patients, sponsored by Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 95 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-12-19.
Sponsored by Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Screening
The role of neuraxial anesthesia in preventing respiratory complications is a controversial in elderly patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits of neuraxial anesthesia on pulmonary function during post-operative term in geriatric patients undergoing to elective non-abdominal surgery.
Sixty elder patients will be randomly assigned to General anesthesia or Neuraxial anesthesia groups. Spirometry, will be performed at pre-operative and post-operative terms. Pulmonary function tests will be evaluated.
Exclusion Criteria:
Standard General Anesthesia will be applied.The change of the pulmonary functions will be evaluated via spirometer.
Procedure: General anesthesia · Diagnostic Test: Spirometer
Neuraxial anesthesia will be applied. The change of the pulmonary functions will be evaluated via spirometer.
Procedure: Neuraxial anesthesia · Diagnostic Test: Spirometer
induction with the intravenous anesthetic (Propofol) and maintenance with the inhalational anesthetic (Sevoflurane)
Spinal anesthesia will be applied via the local anesthetic ( Bupivacaine).
Pulmonary function will be evaluated via the portable spirometer (MIR Spirodoc, Spirodoc®, Roma, Italy)
The changes on forced vital capacity
Forced vital capacity will be measured via spirometer
Time frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours
The changes on forced expiratory volume in 1 s
Forced expiratory volume in 1 s will be measured via spirometer
Time frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours
The changes on mid-expiratory flow (MEF 25-75)
mid-expiratory flow (MEF 25-75) will be measured via spirometer
Time frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours
The changes on peak expiratory flow (PEF)
Peak expiratory flow (PEF) will be measured by the spirometer
Time frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours
