Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the effects of general and spinal anaesthesia on pulmonary function tests (PFT) in the postoperative period among patients aged ≥65 years.Methods: This prospective study included a total of 60 patients aged ≥65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists I-III. General anaesthesia was applied to group I while spinal anaesthesia was applied to group II. PFTs were performed in all the patients in the preoperative evaluation and were repeated at the 2nd and 24th postoperative hours. Comparison of the results was done both within and between the groups.Results: A comparison between the groups showed that both in the preoperative and postoperative periods, forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), the ratio of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1/FVC, Tiffeneau ratio), forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of the FVC (FEF25-75), peak expiratory flow and forced expiratory time values were not statistically significant (p>0.05). However, when the patients were compared within the groups, a statistically significant decrease in FEV1 and FVC values was found in the postoperative spirometric measurements in both groups compared to the preoperative period (p

Özet

Amaç: Genel ve spinal anestezinin postoperatif dönemde 65 yaş ve üstü hastalarda solunum fonksiyon testleri (SFT) üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler:BuileriyedönükçalışmadaAmerikan Anesteziyoloji Derneği I ile III aralığında 65 yaş ve üstü toplam 60 hasta değerlendirilmiştir. Genel anestezi uygulanan hastalar grup I, spinal anestezi uygulananlar ise grup II olarak sınıflanlandırılmıştır. Tüm olgulara ameliyat öncesi ve ameliyat sonrası 2. ve 24. saatlerde SFT yapılmıştır. SFT sonuçları gruplar arasında analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Birinci saniye zorlu ekspiratuvar volüm (FEV1), zorlu vital kapasite (FVC), birinci saniye zorlu ekspiratuvar volümün (FEV1’in FVC’ye) zorlu vital kapasiteye oranı (FEV1/FVC, Tiffeneau oranı) zorlu ekspirasyon ortası akım hızı (FEF25-75), tepe akım hızı, zorlu ekspiryum zamanı değerlerinde gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p>0,05). Bununla birlikte genel anestezi ve spinal anestezi uygulanan hastalar grup içi değerlendirildiğinde her iki grupta da FEV1 ve FVC değerlerinde preoperatif döneme göre postoperatif spirometrik ölçümlerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir azalma gözlendi (p
