Spinal anaesthesia for brachytherapy for carcinoma of the cervix: a comparison of two dose regimens of hyperbaric bupivacaine

Abstract

Objectives: Spinal anaesthesia can be suitably performed for a variety of day-stay (ambulatory) surgical procedures. The time taken for adequate recovery to allow discharge home from hospital is an important consideration. The purpose of this study was to compare the suitability of two different doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia for day-stay brachytherapy for carcinoma of the cervix.
