[Anesthesia management during the total hip replacement surgery]
Abstract:
Comparative analysis of two methods of anesthesia has been performed to determine the optimal method of anesthesia for total hip replacement. It was revealed that suggested methods - both general (GA) and combined (GA with epidural anesthesia - EA) provide an adequate anesthesia and allow patients with stable hemodynamics and respiratory metabolism undergo various types of major traumatic operations such as THR. Compared with GA, combined multicomponent (GA and EA) has reduced using Propofol by 50% and Fentanyl by 56%. Data from our trials have also showed that combined anesthesia slightly decreased intraoperative blood loss by 10% and there is no evident advantage of using above-mentioned method of anesthesia for this purpose.
