Introduction: Spinal anesthesia via Marcaine hyperbaric in different patients is associated with different side effects. The present study was performed to detect recovery period, Gastrointestinal and Respiratory side effects in spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric marcaine in diabetic and non diabetic patients. Methods: In this comparative study, 62 patients (30 diabetic and 32 non-diabetics) with sub abdomen and lower organ surgeries were selected with simple sampling. After spinal anesthesia with hyper baric marcaine was done , recovery duration , Gastrointestina and respiratory side effects in two groups were evaluated . Data were collected using questionnaire, physical examination and patients’ records and were analyzed utilizing statistical, independent t –t, and fisher exact test. Results: Gastrointestinal and respiratory side effects in two groups revealed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). But the mean length of recovery residence showed a significant difference in the two groups of control and experiment (p=0.05) In fact, diabetic patients recovery duration was shorter. Conclusion: Since Gastrointestina and respiratory side effects were same in the two groups and also recovery period was shorter, its appears that hyperbaric marcaine in spinal anesthesia is apppropriate for diabetic patients.
