Authors
Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2011
Hypothesis: General anesthesia as compared to intrathecal (i.e. spinal anesthesia) anesthesia will result in shorter length of hospital stay for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Primary endpoint: time from end of surgery until the patient is \"street ready\" Secondary endpoints: will general anesthesia produce less postoperative pain as compared to intrathecal anesthesia? Is there any difference in post operative \"dizziness\" between the groups.
