[Spinal anesthesia with lidocaine combined with moradol]

The efficacy of spinal anesthesia with lidocaine (1 mg/kg) combined with moradol (0.005 mg/kg) during urologic surgery has been compared with that of spinal anesthesia with lidocaine (1 mg/kg) combined with morphine (0.01 mg/kg). The adequacy of anesthesia was evaluated using common clinical and biological parameters. Analysis of the data obtained has shown that spinal anesthesia with lidocaine in combination with moradol is a simple and effective technique of regional anesthesia. A combination of local anesthetics with moradol ensures adequate anesthesia and pronounced prolonged postoperative analgesia and sedation. The absence of serious side effects makes it possible to substitute moradol for narcotic analgesics used in spinal anesthesia.
