Brief Summary:
Prolonged motor block and delayed ability to walk are limitations of spinal anesthesia in ambulatory same-day surgery This can be improved by lowering the dose of local anesthetic a medication that when injected around nerves blocks nerve conduction resulting in numbness and weakness used in the spine but too low a dose can result in an incomplete block inadequate anesthesia in some patients There is evidence that adding a low dose of fentanyl a narcotic to mepivacaine enhances the anesthetic effect The purpose of this study is to determine the lowest dose of mepivacaine a local anesthetic when combined with fentanyl for which spinal anesthesia is adequate for ambulatory knee arthroscopy
