General vs. Intrathecal Anesthesia Fort Total Knee Arthroplasty; a Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating General anesthesia and Regional anesthesia for Arthritis. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hypothesis: General anesthesia as compared to intrathecal (i.e. spinal anesthesia) anesthesia will result in shorter length of hospital stay for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Primary endpoint: time from end of surgery until the patient is "street ready" Secondary endpoints: will general anesthesia produce less postoperative pain as compared to intrathecal anesthesia? Is there any difference in post operative "dizziness" between the groups.
