Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the results of different anesthesia methods (general anesthesia with epidural catheter application and spinal anesthesia with epidural catheter application) applied in elective hysterectomy surgeries performed in our hospital. The aim is to compare the advantages of both methods.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was designed as a prospective observational study. The researchers participating in the study were not involved in administering any medications to the patients. A review of the patient records will result in the creation of two differentiated groups according to the anesthesia method administered: Group 1 will include patients who underwent general anesthesia with an epidural catheter, while Group 2 will include patients who underwent spinal anesthesia with an epidural catheter. The quality of recovery score will be evaluated using a 15-question scale both preoperatively and postoperatively. The researchers will evaluate quality of recovery using the 15-item Quality of Recovery scale (QoR-15).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

Patients who received general anesthesia and an epidural catheter.

Group 1

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In patients undergoing a hysterectomy, an epidural catheter is placed via the L3-4 or L4-5 spinal space, followed by the application of a standardized general anesthesia protocol.

Group 2

Patients who received spinal anesthesia and an epidural catheter.

Group 2

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In patients undergoing hysterectomy, 15-20 mg of heavy bupivacaine is injected into the intrathecal area via the L3-4 or L4-5 spinal space, using a spinal needle. Following the removal of the spinal needle, an epidural catheter is then placed through the same opening.
