Prospective economic evaluation shows chloroprocaine is more cost-effective in outpatient knee arthroscopy, suggesting fiscal benefits for healthcare systems.
The use of chloroprocaine for spinal anesthesia was associated with significantly shorter perioperative care times and lower hospital-related costs compared to prilocaine. Nonetheless, further high-quality, multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the pharmacoeconomic advantages of using chloroprocaine for cost-effective spinal anesthesia.
