- Abstract
Introduction and Objectives: Spinal analgesia is a basic mainstay in gynecologic surgery. The objective of this research was to determine the usefulness of meperidine as an analgesic agent via the subarachnoid space. Method: A prospective and inferential study was performed in 20 hypertensive patients who were scheduled for elective gynecological surgery, and who were divided into two groups of 10 patients. The group- M received spinal anesthesia with meperidine 1 mg / kg and group-B patients received hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.1 mg / kg. An analysis of the postoperative analgesia time and of the incidence of side effects was made. Results: In patients who were administered meperidine, postoperative analgesia was significantly higher; numerical incidence of side effects was no different, nausea predominated in both groups, followed by pruritus with the use of meperidine and shivering with bupivacaine. Conclusions: Meperidine proved useful as an analgesic agent in hypertensive patients who underwent gynecological surgery.
