Segmental Thoracic vs Lumbar Spinal: Recovery After Elective Cesarean
Effect of Thoracic Segmental Spinal Anesthesia Versus Conventional Lumbar Spinal Anesthesia on Early Mobilization and Obstetric Quality of Recovery in Elective Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial compares thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia (T10-11) with conventional lumbar spinal anesthesia (L4-5) in patients undergoing elective cesarean section. The primary outcome is postoperative quality of recovery assessed with the ObsQoR-11 score. Secondary outcomes include block characteristics (onset time, number of blocked dermatomes, presence of sacral sparing, and postoperative motor block assessed with the Bromage scale), hemodynamic parameters, vasopressor and anticholinergic requirements, perioperative complications, and time to first mobilization.

Подробное описание
Cesarean delivery is most commonly performed under lumbar spinal anesthesia. Thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia, performed at a higher interspace, may produce a more segmental block with less lower-limb motor involvement. Evidence in obstetric patients is limited. This trial will test whether the level of spinal injection, with agent, dose, and volume held constant, affects postoperative recovery after elective cesarean delivery.
Prospective, single-center, two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial, 1:1 allocation. (Computer-generated block randomization) Patients and outcome assessors will be masked to allocation; the anesthesiologist performing the block cannot be masked.
All patients will receive isobaric bupivacaine 0.5% 1.5 mL (7.5 mg) with fentanyl 25 mcg (0.5 mL), total volume 2 mL, identical in both arms. Lumbar arm: L4-5 interspace. Thoracic arm: T10-11 interspace. The level will be identified by landmark technique with the patient in the sitting position, using a 26 G pencil-point spinal needle.
Spinal success will be tested by sensory and motor examination. Sensory block (onset, blocked dermatomes, sacral sparing) will be tested with pinprick, and motor block with the modified Bromage scale. Surgery will start when the block reaches T5. In case of a patchy block or inadequate sensory level, conversion to general anesthesia is planned.
Patients will be monitored with standard ASA monitoring. Hypotension will be defined as mean arterial pressure below 60 mmHg or a decrease of more than 20% from baseline, and will be treated with ephedrine 5 mg IV boluses. Bradycardia will be defined as a heart rate below 50 beats/min and will be treated with atropine 0.5 mg IV. Fluid replacement, antiemetic prophylaxis, postoperative analgesia, and the mobilization protocol will be identical in both arms.

Экспериментальный: Thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia
Participants allocated to this arm will receive spinal anesthesia at the T10-11 interspace for elective cesarean delivery. After injection, onset time of the block, the number of blocked dermatomes, and the presence or absence of sacral sparing will be recorded, and motor block will be assessed with the modified Bromage scale at predefined intervals during the first 24 postoperative hours . All procedures will be performed by experienced anesthesiologists under standard monitoring. Fluid co-loading, hypotension and bradycardia thresholds with the corresponding vasopressor and atropine |
Spinal anesthesia will be performed at the thoracic interspace (T10-11) |

Активный компаратор: Lumbar Spinal Anesthesia
Lumbar Spinal Anesthesia Participants in this group will receive conventional spinal anesthesia performed at the lumbar interspace Procedure/Surgery: Lumbar Spinal Anesthesia- (L4-5). The goal is to achieve a standard sensory block level adequate for cesarean delivery. All procedures will be performed by experienced anesthesiologists under standardized conditions. Intraoperative management, including hemodynamic support and fluid administration, will follow the same institutional protocol as in the thoracic group. |

Obstetric Quality of Recovery-11 score
Временное ограничение: at Postoperative 24th hours
|
Quality of recovery was assessed using the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-11 (ObsQoR-11) questionnaire. Each item is scored from 0 to 10, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 110, where 110 indicates the best possible recovery and 0 indicates the worst. |
at Postoperative 24th hours

Mean arterial pressure
Временное ограничение: 0, 5, 15, 30, 45 minutes intraoperatively
|
Mean arterial pressure (MAP), defined as the time-weighted average arterial pressure over a single cardiac cycle, was calculated using the standard formula: MAP = [(2 × diastolic blood pressure) + systolic blood pressure] / 3. Continuous or intermittent MAP measurements were used to assess hemodynamic stability and adequacy of organ perfusion throughout the perioperative period. Intraoperative hypotension was predefined as a MAP <6o mmHg. |

Heart rate
Временное ограничение: 0. - 5. - 15. - 30. - 45. minutes intraoperatively
|
Heart rate (HR), expressed as beats per minute (bpm), was continuously monitored using standard electrocardiography. HR was used as an indicator of autonomic and hemodynamic response throughout the perioperative period. Tachycardia was predefined as HR >100 bpm and bradycardia as HR <50 bpm. |
