General Anesthesia
Regional Anesthesia
The patients in this group will undergo unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia. Following vascular access and monitorization (non-invasive blood pressure, saturation, electrocardiography). Epidural chateterisation will be performed and test dose will be applied. Induction will be carried out using propofol (3mg/kg), fentanyl (1cmg/kg) and rocuronium (0.6 mg/kg). Maintenance will be carried out using sevoflurane (%2-3) and 50-50% mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Epidural analgesia will be initiated after the end surgery.
The patients in this group will undergo unilateral total knee arthroplasty under combined spinoedpidural anesthesia . Following vascular access and monitorization (noninvasive blood pressure, oxygen saturation and electrocardiography), spinal anesthesia will be performed using 12,5 mg marcaine given to the subarachnoid space and epidural analgesia will be initiated at the end of surgery following negative test dose. The patients will be given nasal oxygen supplementation.
