Urinary bladder scanning after day-case arthroscopy under spinal anaesthesia: comparison between lidocaine, ropivacaine, and levobupivacaine

Abstract: Our study suggested that the three local anaesthetics behave similar regarding quality of anaesthesia and motor block but voiding and discharge occurred significantly earlier with lidocaine although the 40 min difference was not impressive considering a spinal discharge time interval of 4-5 h.

“…Breebaart et al also demonstrated a longer interval to first voiding in patients having spinal anesthesia with longacting local anesthetics (levobupivacaine and ropivacaine) compared with those with shorter-acting agents (lidocaine). 10 Although this study was not designed to measure health care costs, our results could be significant when considered from a cost savings perspective. As health care costs are determined, in part, by the length of hospital stay, achieving faster discharge from hospital through the utilization of 2-CP for spinal anesthesia could provide potential cost savings without compromising the quality of patient care.…”

“…8,9 Furthermore, urinary retention (or a prolonged interval to first voiding) is frequently encountered with bupivacaine, which delays the time until discharge for ambulatory patients. 10 An amino-ester local anesthetic, 2-chloroprocaine (2-CP), is of short duration of action. Initially used mostly for obstetrical epidurals, its safety and reliability for spinal anesthesia has been reported since 1952.…”

“…Breebart et al compared 10 mg levobupivacaine and 15 mg ropivacaine for out patients knee arthroscopy and found the same results, where ropivacaine group moved early and need for postoperative analgesia was less in levobupivacaine but they discharged home late. 20 Ropivacaine presented with shorter duration of sensory and motor block than bupivacaine and levobupivacaine (P<0.05).…”
