Background and Aims: Gabapentin and pregabalin, by decreasing noxious stimulus induced excitatory neurotransmitter release at central nervous system, may attenuate central sensitization and eventually decrease development of postoperative pain. We evaluated preemptive analgesic efficacy of single dose of oral gabapentin 600 mg and pregabalin 75mg for postoperative pain in patients undergoing lower limb orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia. Material and methods: A prospective, randomized, double blind study was conducted on 70 patients aged between 18 to 60 years with ASA grade 1 and 2 posted for lower limb surgeries under spinal anaesthesia. Patients were allocated into Group A and Group B receiving oral gabapentin(600mg) and oral pregabalin (75mg) respectively 1.5 hours before surgery. Primary objective was assessing duration and quality of analgesia by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at 2,4,6,8,10,12,16,20 and 24 hours.Secondary objective was to assess total dose of rescue analgesic in first 24 hours, perioperative hemodynamic change and various side effects. Statistical Analysis used: Categorical data was compared using Chi- square test. Quantitative parametric data was analysed using unpaired student t-test. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Mean duration of analgesia in Group A (10.53 ± 2.686 hours) was longer than Group B (7.943±3.199hr) (P = 0.0006).Mean number of analgesic dosesrequired in first 24 hourswere less in Group A (1.429 ± 0.5021) ascompared to Group B (1.771±0.6897) (P = 0.0202).All patients remained hemodynamically stable with no significant side effects noted in either group. Conclusion: We conclude that preemptive analgesic efficacy of oral gabapentin 600mg is better in comparison to oral pregabalin 75 mg for patients posted for lower limb orthopedic surgeries under spinal anesthesia.

Background. Hypotension and bradycardia are the most common complications associated with spinal anesthesia and more common in patients with a history of hypertension. Regular use of antihypertensive medications can prevent these complications. The occurrence of hypotension under spinal anesthesia among controlled hypertensive and normotensive patients with age 40 years and above is still debated. The objective of the study was to compare blood pressure and heart rate changes following spinal anesthesia between controlled hypertensive and normotensive patients undergoing surgery below the umbilicus at Black lion hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2020. Method. A hospital-based prospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 110 elective patients with controlled hypertension (55) and normotensive (55) patients who underwent surgery with spinal anesthesia at black lion hospital during the study period were included. The sample was selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Continuous data of independent and dependent variables were analyzed using an independent sample t-test for normally distributed and Mann–Whitney U-test for nonnormally distributed between the study groups. Categorical variables between the study groups were analyzed using the chi-square test. Descriptive data were displayed using tables and figures. For continuous and categorical variables, a p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. The incidence of hypotension in the controlled hypertension group (23.6%) was higher than the normotensive group (7.3%) with p value of 0.018. The occurrence of bradycardia was seen to be 12.7% in each group with a p value >0.05. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, mean heart rate, and vasopressor consumption at the measurement time interval between controlled hypertension and normotensive groups. Conclusion. Under spinal anesthesia, patients with controlled hypertension are more likely to develop hypotension than normotensive patients, but on the occurrence of bradycardia, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.
