Abstract:
A prospective study was conducted on 380 patients at age of 16 to 65 who were operated at The Anaesthetic and Recuperative Department of Vietnam-Sec Hospital from Jun 2003 to April 2005. The patients were divided randomly into two groups: Group I using the needle anesthesia Whitacre 25G and Group II using the needle anesthesia Quincke 25G. Results: the pulses of both groups before and after anesthesia were different (p>0.05), the arterial pressure 30 minutes after anesthesia of both groups reduced (p>0.05) the rate of respiratory before and after anesthesia of both groups were different, no case with side effect on respiratory which needed intervention. Spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric Marcain 0.5% (dose 0.2mg/kg) at L3-L4 interspaces causes completely anesthesia for lower extremities operations, side effects were negligible
