Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort study aims to gather data on the factors influencing the duration of spinal anaesthesia used in total hip and knee arthroplasties. By examining the type and dose of local anaesthetic administered, the study seeks to determine how these variables affect the length of spinal anaesthesia. The findings will help assess the suitability of spinal anaesthesia for outpatient orthopedic surgeries, particularly in terms of patient recovery and hospital discharge timing. The study will involve patients scheduled for elective orthopedic procedures under spinal anaesthesia.
