التخدير القطني في جراحة الاطفال دراسة مقارنة بين التخدير القطني و التخدير الانشاقي

This study was carried out in the Department of Anaesthesia and Reanimation at ALASSAD University Hospital, Lattakia, during the year (2005 -2006), and included 100 patients between 1 year and 10 years old. They were divided into two groups: 1. In the first group, the spinal anesthesia was applied associated with a suitable sedation to execute the spinal tap. 2. In the second group, inhalation anesthesia by halothane was applied. The anesthesia in first group was kind, comfortable, and without any complications, except sensitiveness and urticaria (2%), and incompetence of the needed block (2%). In the second group, there were many complications: vomiting and nausea (4%), algesia (2%), laryngospasm (2%), bronchospasm (2%), convulsion (2%), delayed recovery(2%), sensitiveness and urticaria (2%), increased the bronchial secretions (10%), hyper dose (2%), cough and excitement and struggling (22%). Therefore, the spinal anesthesia has less complications, less cost, and less risk than inhalation anesthesia by halothane.
