Summary

The aim of the present study was to determine the ED50 and ED90 of intrathecal hyperbaric 2% prilocaine (HP) for patients undergoing ambulatory prostate biopsy via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/ultrasound fusion.

Detailed description

Prostate biopsy to diagnose or exclude cancer is currently performed an estimated one million times annually worldwide. In this method, the operator images the prostate using ultrasound, as performed for the past several decades; while thus viewing the prostate, the MRI of that prostate, which is performed beforehand and stored in the device, is fused with real-time ultrasound using a digital overlay, allowing the target(s), previously delineated by a radiologist, to be brought into the aiming mechanism of the ultrasound machine. The fusion results in creation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of the prostate, and on the reconstructed model, the aiming and tracking of biopsy sites occurs. This method needs for sedation/general/ spinal anesthesia because of patient discomfort with the transperineal approach of the biopsy needle passing through the perineum. Even though the MRI/ultrasound fusión prostate biopsy is widespread used, the anaesthetic techniques for this procedure are not standardised. Hyperbaric prilocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic widely used in short surgical procedures showing its efficacy for outpatient surgery. The proposed intrathecal doses of prilocaine for various surgical procedures range from 10 to 80 mg. Thus, even though the drug is in clinical use, optimal doses of HP required for specific types of surgery warrant further refinement. The aim of the present study was to determine the ED50 and ED90 of intrathecal HP for patients undergoing undergoing ambulatory MRI/ultrasound fusión prostate biopsy.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Dose of prilocaine	With the patient in the sitting position, spinal anesthesia was performed using the midline approach at the L3-L4; L4-L5 interspace with a spinal needle. The dose of HP that a patient received was determined by the previous patient's response. If successful anesthesia was obtained, the next patient's dose was decreased. The first patient will receive a dose of 20 mg. The dose decrement/increment for each subsequent patient will be set at 2 mg. A nurse blinded to the dose, will assess the sensitive level achieved with each block. Furthermore, all patients will be unaware of the injected dose of HP. For purposes of the study, anesthesia was considered successful when there was complete loss of pinprick and cold sensation at the L1 dermatome. Values of ED 50 will be determined by calculating the midpoint concentration after at least 8 crossover points sufficient/insufficient anesthesia will be obtained. A single measurement will be obtained from each patient.
