Abstract:
Effect of marcaine plus fentanyl combination for lumbar epidural anesthesia was investigated in random series of 33 patients who were undergoing lumbar discectomy. Patients received 1mg/kg marcaine with 1mcg/kg fentanyl. The volume of local anesthetic solution was calculated basing on the number of segments that needed to block: 1.5 - 1.6ml per segment. It was found that the marcaine plus fentanyl combination provided high effect (100%) on epidural anesthesia, rapid onset (7.51.8 min), long working duration (33070 min), caused milder hemodynamic changes, decreased the incidence of adverse events and produced satisfactory operating condition.
