Brief Summary   AIM OF THE STUDY:
To compare the effect and outcomes both intraoperatively and postoperatively following the sole general anesthesia and combined epidural/general anesthesia in Lumbar spine disc surgeries.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:  To assess and show the efficacy of combined epidural and general anesthesia over sole general anesthesia in variables such as Mean arterial blood pressure, Heart rate, Blood loss and amount of anesthetic agents used.

METHODOLOGY:
  • Patients who are undergoing lumbar spine surgeries will be randomly grouped under Group ’A’ and Group ’B’. Group A being patients receiving General anesthesia and Group B being patients receiving a combined Epidural and General anesthesia.
  • Group B patients will initially be given epidural single injection of 18ml of 0.25% Bupivacaine (45mg) + 25mcg of Fentanyl (2 ml) in 18 ml of distilled water administered either at the same or a level below the level of surgery in the sitting position, using Epidural Tuohy 18G under strict aseptic precautions. Following epidural Group B patients will be administered General anesthesia.
