Abstract
We have combined spinal anaesthesia with general anaesthesia and general anaesthesia along to compare the quality of anaesthesia, requirement of various drugs intraoperatively, and use of hypotension that occurred after giving spinal anaesthesia and vasodilator drugs.Group “A”- Surgeries performed under General anaesthesia and IV vasodilator drugs for controlled hypotension. Group “B” – Surgeries performed under general anaesthesia and use of spinal anaesthesia for controlled hypotension. Systolic, diastolic, mean arterial blood pressures and heart rate were recorded.Our study demonstrates that combination of SA and GA technique provided better hypotensive anaesthesia which is beneficial for clear operative field, less blood loss and prolong post-operative pain relief compared to general anaesthesia alone
