Study Summary

Outpatient knee surgeries with duration of less than one hour pose a challenge to the use of spinal anesthesia given that traditional agents remain in effect for 2-3 hours, thus creating a mismatch between length of surgery and anesthetic resolution. The investigators hypothesize that the use of chloroprocaine can combine the benefits of a short spinal anesthetic while avoiding the side effects of a general anesthetic, thus promoting earlier discharge.

Primary Outcome

Defined as duration from arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU0 to the time patient meets the discharge criteria from the post anesthesia discharge scoring system (PADSS) for home readiness after ambulatory surgery

Interventions

  • DRUG Mepivacaine
  • DRUG Chloroprocaine
  • DRUG General Anesthetics
