Abstract |
Background |
Treatment protocols, including anesthesia, are constantly progressing to improve rapid early postoperative recovery in lower-limb arthroplasty. To the best of our knowledge, however, no studies compared general versus spinal anesthesia (GA vs. SA) in the surgical pathway of patients undergoing total knee or hip arthroplasty (TKA, THA). Better knowledge of the processes should improve efficacy in theater and optimize surgical planning. The present study comparing GA and SA in the operating room aimed to assess (1) theater occupancy times, and (2) times for each step in a surgery day according to type of anesthesia.
Hypothesis |
SA leads to longer theater occupancy than GA in TKA and THA.
Methods |
A single-center retrospective case-control study analyzed data for the period January 2019 to December 2020 in 303 TKAs (100 GA, 203 SA) and 277 THAs (143 GA, 134 SA), comparing times for all perioperative steps and particularly theater occupancy.
Results |
In TKA, occupancy did not differ between GA and SA: 98±16min versus 98±14min respectively; Δ=0min (p=0.78). In THA, occupancy was shorter with SA than GA: 117±23min versus 123±26min respectively; Δ=−6min (p=0.02). In THA, time to perform SA was longer than induction of GA: 28±13min versus 23±12min respectively; Δ=+5min (p<0.001). In TKA, time to leaving the operating room was shorter with SA than GA: 8±5min versus 14±7min respectively; Δ=−6min (p<0.001).
Discussion/Conclusion |
SA did not involve longer mean theater occupancy than GA for TKA, and reduced it by 6minutes for THA.
Level of evidence |
III; case-control study.
