Fluid Absorption in Patients Undergoing Operative Hysteroscopy; Results From a Prospective Controlled Study

The Impact of Spinal Anesthesia and Use of Oxytocin on Fluid Absorption in Patients Undergoing Operative Hysteroscopy; Results From a Prospective Controlled Study

To determine if combining intravenous oxytocin infusion and spinal anesthesia will reduce the amount of glycine absorption in patients undergoing operative hysteroscopy

Prospective controlled study in premenopausal patients who had hysteroscopic surgery including endometrial resection, endometrial polypectomy, myomectomy resection and uterine septal resection. The effect of combined spinal anesthetic with oxytocin infusion on fluid deficit was studied.

Inclusion Criteria:

• premenopausal with no cardiovascular comorbidities
