Comparison
Spinal intradural analgesia or general… vs General anaesthesia with spontaneous ventilation
Design
RCT, randomly allocated to one of three groups

Clinicians should prefer spinal or controlled-ventilation GA for TURP to lower dysrhythmia risk; this RCT strengthens evidence for anaesthesia selection.
Does the type of anaesthesia affect blood loss, morbidity, mortality, and dysrhythmias in patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy?
Spinal analgesia and general anaesthesia with controlled ventilation are the preferred methods for transurethral prostatectomy due to a lower incidence of dysrhythmias compared to general anaesthesia with spontaneous ventilation.
McGowan et al. (1980) studied this question.
