Dural Sac Area-Guided Spinal Anesthesia Dosing for TURP

26 augusti 2026 uppdaterad av: Ezgi Budak Ozyalcın, Istanbul University

Clinical Effects of Individualized Spinal Anesthesia Dosing Based on Ultrasound-Measured Dural Sac Cross-Sectional Area in Patients Undergoing Transurethral Resection of the Prostate: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled study will evaluate whether individualizing the dose of spinal anesthesia according to the ultrasound-derived dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCSA) can improve hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

Participants aged 40 years or older will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the individualized-dose group, the anteroposterior diameter of the dural sac will be measured by ultrasound at the L3-L4 level, and DSCSA will be calculated from this measurement. The dose of intrathecal bupivacaine will then be individualized according to the calculated DSCSA. In the control group, participants will receive a fixed dose of intrathecal bupivacaine. Both groups will also receive intrathecal fentanyl.

The main outcome is the incidence of intraoperative hypotension. The study will also evaluate the number of hypotensive episodes, minimum mean arterial pressure, vasopressor and atropine requirements, sensory and motor block characteristics, respiratory monitoring parameters, cerebral oxygenation, and adverse events.

The study aims to determine whether a DSCSA-guided dosing strategy can reduce excessive spinal block and improve hemodynamic stability while maintaining effective spinal anesthesia.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

This prospective, randomized controlled study compares two routinely used approaches to determining the intrathecal bupivacaine dose for spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). No new drug, new indication, or experimental treatment will be introduced. Both dosing approaches are currently used in routine clinical practice; the study will prospectively and randomly compare their clinical effects.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either a dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCSA)-guided individualized dosing group or a fixed-dose control group.

Before spinal anesthesia, the anteroposterior diameter of the dural sac will be measured by ultrasound at the L3-L4 intervertebral level. DSCSA will be calculated using the formula A = π × (D/2)².

In the individualized-dose group, a DSCSA of 150 mm² will be used as the reference value corresponding to 10 mg of intrathecal bupivacaine. The bupivacaine dose will be adjusted proportionally according to the participant's calculated DSCSA and limited to a minimum of 6 mg and a maximum of 12.5 mg. Fentanyl 25 micrograms will be added intrathecally.

In the fixed-dose group, participants will receive 10 mg (2 mL of 0.5%) intrathecal bupivacaine together with fentanyl 25 micrograms.

Spinal anesthesia will be performed at the L3-L4 intervertebral space using a 27-gauge Quincke needle. Standard intraoperative monitoring will be performed according to the study protocol. Sensory and motor block characteristics and hemodynamic variables will be recorded prospectively for comparison between the two dosing strategies.

Experimentell: DSCSA-Guided Individualized Dose
The dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCSA) will be estimated from the ultrasound-measured anteroposterior dural sac diameter at the L3-L4 level. The intrathecal bupivacaine dose will be individualized according to the DSCSA, using 150 mm² as the reference area corresponding to 10 mg bupivacaine. The calculated bupivacaine dose will be limited to 6-12.5 mg. Fentanyl 25 micrograms will also be administered intrathecally.

Hyperbaric bupivacaine is administered intrathecally in both study groups. In the DSCSA-guided group, the dose is individualized according to DSCSA, using 150 mm² as the reference corresponding to 10 mg, with a permitted dose range of 6 to 12.5 mg. In the fixed-dose group, 10 mg (2 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine) is administered.
Fentanyl 25 micrograms is administered intrathecally together with bupivacaine in both study groups.
