Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a unilateralidade do bloqueio subaracnoide obtido com ropivacaína hiperbárica e hipobárica. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo aleatorizado conduzido em centro cirúrgico ortopédico. No total, 60 pacientes (ASA I-III) programados para cirurgia eletiva de artroplastia total do joelho foram incluídos no estudo. O grupo hipo (n = 30) recebeu 11,25 mg de ropivacaína (7,5 mg.mL-1) + 2 mL de água destilada (a densidade em temperatura ambiente foi 0,997) e o grupo hiper (n = 30) recebeu 11,25 mg de ropivacaína + 2 mL (5 mg.mL-1) de dextrose (a densidade em temperatura ambiente foi 1,015). Os pacientes no grupo hiperbárica foram posicionados com o lado operado para baixo e na posição de Fowler a 15º e os pacientes do grupo hipobárica foram posicionados com o lado operado para cima e na posição de Trendelenburg a 15º. O bloqueio combinado de raquianestesia e anestesia peridural (ACRP) foi realizado na linha mediana do interespaço lombar em L3 e L4. Foram avaliados os parâmetros hemodinâmicos e de bloqueio da coluna vertebral, tempo de regressão, sucesso da raquianestesia unilateral, conforto do paciente, do cirurgião e da cirurgia, tempo até a primeira requisição analgésica e efeitos adversos. RESULTADOS: O tempo necessário para atingir o nível de dermátomo T10 no lado operado foi menor no grupo hiper (612,00 ± 163,29 segundos) comparado ao grupo hipo (763,63 ± 208,35 segundos) (p < 0,05). O tempo para a regressão de dois segmentos do nível de bloqueio sensorial nos lados operado e não operado foi menor no grupo hipo do que no grupo hiper. CONCLUSÃO: A ropivacaína tanto hiperbárica quanto hipobárica (11,25 mg) proporcionou anestesia adequada e confiável para artroplastia total do joelho (ATJ), com um alto nível de conforto para o paciente e cirurgião. As soluções anestésicas hipobáricas locais fornecem um alto nível de anestesia unilateral, com rápida recuperação dos bloqueios sensitivo e motor e, portanto, pode ser preferível em regime ambulatorial.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the unilaterality of subarachnoid block achieved with hyperbaric and hypobaric ropivacaine. METHODS: The prospective, randomized trial was conducted in an orthopedics surgical suite. In all, 60 ASA I-III patients scheduled for elective total knee arthroplasty were included in the study. Group Hypo (n = 30) received 11.25 mg of ropivacaine (7.5 mg.mL-1) + 2 mL of distilled water (density at room temperature was 0.997) and group Hyper (n = 30) received 11.25 mg of ropivacaine (7.5 mg.mL-1) + 2 mL (5 mg.mL-1) of dextrose (density at room temperature was 1,015). Patients in the hyperbaric group were positioned with the operated side down and in the 15º Fowler position, versus those in the hypobaric group with the operated side facing up and in the 15º Trendelenburg position. Combined spinal epidural anesthesia was performed midline at the L3-4 lumbar interspace. Hemodynamic and spinal block parameters, regression time, success of unilateral spinal anesthesia, patient comfort, surgical comfort, surgeon comfort, first analgesic requirement time, and adverse effects were assessed. RESULTS: Time to reach the T10 dermatome level on the operated side was shorter in group Hyper (612.00 ± 163.29 s) than in group Hypo (763.63 ± 208.35 s) (p < 0.05). Time to 2-segment regression of the sensory block level on both the operated and non-operated sides was shorter in group Hypo than in group Hyper. CONCLUSION: Both hyperbaric and hypobaric ropivacaine (11.25 mg) provided adequate and dependable anesthesia for total knee replacement surgery, with a high level of patient and surgeon comfort. Hypobaric local anesthetic solutions provide a high level of unilateral anesthesia, with rapid recovery of both sensory and motor block, and therefore may be preferable in outpatient settings.
