Why the study?
Does spinal anaesthesia using 29-gauge spinal needles with a fixation device provide successful anaesthesia in patients undergoing elective surgery?
Does spinal anaesthesia using 29-gauge spinal needles with a fixation device provide successful anaesthesia in patients undergoing elective surgery?
The use of 29-gauge spinal needles with a fixation device in a combined spinal epidural technique provides a high success rate and patient satisfaction for elective surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support feasibility of 29G needles with fixation; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
One hundred patients between 15-46 years, undergoing elective surgery, were given spinal anaesthesia using 29-gauge spinal needles introduced through a Tuohy needle with a fixation device. Successful spinal anaesthesia was achieved in 98%. A success rate of 100% was achieved when a combined spinal epidural technique was used. Ninety-eight percent of the patients would prefer the same anaesthesia procedure for similar kind of surgery in the future.
