  The installation of brachytherapy applicator is a painful invasive procedure requiring anesthesia. In this study, we propose to compare intravenous anesthesia with spontaneous ventilation to an intrathecal analgesic protocol with local anesthetics and fentanyl. The main objective was to demonstrate the superiority of spinal analgesia in terms of per and postoperative analgesia during patient mobilization for CT scan. We performed a randomized clinical trial for women patients ASA 1 and 2 programmed for brachytherapy, and then we divided them into 2 groups. Group 1: Have benefited from intravenous anesthesia by propofol titration with fentanyl. Group 2: Benefited from spinal analgesia with bupivacaine 5 mg and fentanyl 25 mg. Then we collected demographic data, quality of anesthesia (Ramsay score for level of sedation, analgesia level by analogical visual scale .. Read More»
