Position During Spinal Anesthesia and Numbing Medicine Dose
Treatments studied
This study compares two patient positions (lying on your side or sitting up) during spinal anesthesia for urogenital surgery. It aims to find the smallest effective dose of the numbing medicine bupivacaine while keeping your blood pressure stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I or II by your anesthesiologist).
- You are scheduled for elective surgery on your urinary or reproductive organs (like prostate, bladder, or kidney).
- You are a candidate for spinal anesthesia (a numbing shot in your lower back).
- You do not have bleeding problems, infection near the injection site, or allergy to amide-type numbing medicines.
- You do not have a neurological condition, spinal deformity, or prior spine surgery.

This study compares a lower dose of the spinal anesthesia drug bupivacaine to the standard dose in people 65 and older who are having planned leg surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose works just as well with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) based on age or weight works better for spinal anesthesia in children having belly or groin surgery. It aims to find the safest and most effective dose for each child.
This trial compares two positions for giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery to see which one works on only one side of the body. It may help patients get better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares how a common numbing medication (bupivacaine) affects your heart rate and blood pressure when given as a spinal injection before surgery. Researchers want to understand these effects better to keep patients safer during procedures.
This study compares two methods of calculating the dose of numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for spinal anesthesia in children having surgery below the belly button. It aims to find which method works better to keep your child comfortable during the procedure.
This trial tests two different doses of a spinal anesthetic (numbing medicine injected in the lower back) during a bladder scope procedure. Researchers want to see which dose keeps your blood pressure and heart rate more stable during the surgery.
