Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
A randomized study comparing combined spinal epidural or general anesthesia for renal transplant surgery.
The appropriate anesthesia for renal transplantation requires minimal toxicity for patients and for the transplanted organ, as well as sufficient pain relief and maintenance of vital functions. The aim of this study was to determine how the anesthetic technique influences the outcome in patients after renal transplantation in terms of preoperative and intraoperative hemodynamic changes and blood gas changes. ⋯ Regional is an important alternative to general anesthesia during renal transplantation surgery in adult patients.
