Özet

The effects of intraarticular bupivacaine and bupivacaine-ketamine combination on postoperative pain and recovery were evaluated in 63 healthy patients undergoing knee arthroscopy under general anesthesia. The patients were divided into 3 groups. Group I was applied 20 ml of 0.5 % bupivacaine, Group II received 20 ml of 0.5 % bupivacaine + 50 mg ketamine and group III was injected 20 ml of 0.9 % NaCl intraarticularly. There was a statistically significant decrease in postoperative pain and first request period for analgesic drug in groups I and II compared to the group III. Also the periods from the end of anesthesia until sitting up on bed and tolerating oral fluids were significantly shorter in groups I and II than in group III. No seriously adverse reactions of this technique were noted during and after the operation.
