Randomized Study of Spinal Anesthesia Compared With Traditional Epidural Anesthesia Concerning Peroperative and Postoperative Pain After Open Nephrectomy in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 2 / Phase 3
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 120 (actual)
• Sponsor: Umeå University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The study aim to study whether spinal anesthesia (using: bupivacain, morfin och klonidin) can be better than epidural anesthesia during and after open surgery for renal cell carcinoma. Per- and postoperative pain after spinal anesthesia with klonidin can be reduced and, thus, shorten the hospital stay and rehabilitation of the patients.

Conditions

• Pre- and Postoperative Analgesia
• Spinal Anesthesia
• Renal Cell Carcinoma

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	klonidin	spinal injection of 12 mg bupivacain,160 ug morfin och klonidin, according to age
DRUG	epidural anesthesia	epidural anesthesia: patients get an continuous infusion of a solution with bupivacain 1 mg/ml, fentanyl 1 ug/ml and adrenalin 1 ug/ml
