The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of combined spinoepidural and general anesthesia on the incidence of postoperative complications following total knee arthroplasty

Detailed description

Total knee arthroplasty is known to cause complications (pulmonary thromboembolism, acute kidney injury, arryhthmias and infection). The investigators aimed to study the effects of two different anesthesia techniques, i.e. combined spinoepidural anesthesia and general anesthesia on the incidence of postoperative complications such as arrhythmia, pulmonary thrombeoembolism, infection, acute kidney injury and mortality.

Conditions

• Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
