Objectives: Additional intra-operative sedation may help improve acceptability and comfort of anaesthesia in patients undergoing minor anorectal (perianal) procedures under spinal saddle block. This observational study was done to determine which patients request sedatives and to what extent sedatives affect the patients’ recovery. Subjects and Methods: During a 6-month period, 500 patients undergoing minor perianal procedures received 1.0 ml hyperbaric bupivacaine (0.5%). On request, a light sedation with propofol in bolus application was provided. Patients were evaluated postoperatively using a standardized questionnaire about their perceptions before, during and 48 h after the administration of anaesthesia. Results: More female (91/143, 63.6%) than male (136/259, 52.5%) patients (p = 0.0312) received sedation. Patients with sedation were significantly younger (46.7 ± 13.8 vs. 50 ± 13.8 years, p = 0.0171) and had a lower body mass index (BMI; 25.6 ± 4.3 vs. 27.5 ± 5.1, p < 0.0001). Time to mobilization and first micturition was significantly longer in patients with sedation (4.8 vs. 4.4 h, p = 0.0194 and 5.8 vs. 5.4 h, p = 0.0188), which was associated with a higher incidence of nausea (7.5 vs. 1.7%, p = 0.0083). Conclusions: Female gender, younger age, lower body weight and lower BMI were associated with higher subjective requirements for sedation. The use of sedation showed prolongation of time to first mobilization and micturition and a higher incidence of nausea.
