Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A raquianestesia unilateral pode apresentar vantagens principalmente em pacientes em regime ambulatorial. Baixa dose da solução anestésica, velocidade lenta da injeção espinal e a posição lateral facilitam a obtenção da distribuição unilateral na raquianestesia. Foram comparadas soluções isobárica, hiperbárica e hipobárica de bupivacaína com objetivos de se obter raquianestesia unilateral em pacientes submetidos a intervenções cirúrgicas ortopédicas em regime ambulatorial. MÉTODO: Cento e cinqüenta pacientes foram aleatoriamente separados em três grupos para receberem 5 mg de bupivacaína a 0,5% isobárica (Grupo Iso), ou 5 mg de bupivacaína a 0,5% hiperbárica (Grupo Hiper), ou 5 mg de bupivacaína a 0,15% hipobárica (Grupo Hipo). As soluções foram administradas no interespaço L3-L4 com o paciente na posição lateral e permanecendo nesta posição por 20 minutos. A anestesia sensitiva foi avaliada pelo teste da picada da agulha. O bloqueio motor avaliado pela escala modificada de Bromage. Ambos os bloqueios foram comparados com o lado não operado e entre si. RESULTADOS: Existiu diferença significativa entre o lado operado e não-operado em todos os três grupos aos 20 minutos, mas maior freqüência de raquianestesia unilateral foi obtida com as soluções hiperbárica e hipobárica de bupivacaína. Bloqueio sensitivo e motor foram observados em 14 pacientes do Grupo Iso, 38 pacientes no Grupo Hiper e 40 pacientes no Grupo Hipo. Não ocorreram alterações hemodinâmicas em nenhum paciente. Não foram observados cefaléia pós-punção nem sintomas neurológicos temporários. CONCLUSÕES: A raquianestesia com soluções hipobárica e hiperbárica proporcionou maior freqüência de unilateralidade. Após 20 minutos a solução isobárica de bupivacaína mobilizou-se no líquido cefalorraquidano (LCR), resultando em apenas 28% de raquianestesia unilateral.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Unilateral spinal anesthesia has its advantages, especially in patients undergoing outpatient basis surgeries. Low dose, slow speed of administration, and the lateral positioning make easier the unilateral distribution in spinal anesthesia. Isobaric, hyperbaric, and hypobaric solutions of bupivacaine were compared in the unilateral spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing outpatient basis orthopedic surgeries. METHODS: One hundred and fifty patients were randomly divided in three groups to receive 5 mg of 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine (Iso Group), 5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (Hyper Group), or 5 mg of 0.15% hypobaric bupivacaine (Hypo Group). The solutions were administered in the L3-L4 space with the patient in the lateral decubitus and remaining in this position for 20 minutes. Sensitive anesthesia was evaluated by the pin prick test. Motor blockade was determined by the modified Bromage scale. Both blockades were compared with the opposite side and among themselves. RESULTS: There was a significant difference between the side of the surgery and the opposite side in all three groups at 20 minutes, but the frequency of unilateral spinal anesthesia was greater with the hyperbaric and hypobaric solutions. Sensitive and motor blockades were observed in 14 patients in the Iso Group, 38 patients in the Hyper Group, and 40 patients in the Hypo Group. Patients did not develop any hemodynamic changes. Postpuncture headache and transitory neurological symptoms were not observed. CONCLUSIONS: Spinal anesthesia with hypobaric and hyperbaric solutions present a higher frequency of unilateral anesthesia. After 20 minutes, isobaric bupivacaine mobilized into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) resulted in unilateral spinal anesthesia in only 28% of the patients.
