Spinal anesthesia

Abstract: Innovations in technology, equipment, and needle design improved safety and decreased complication rates from spinal anesthesia. The increased popularity of ambulatory surgical procedures has resulted in more frequent use of spinal anesthesia. Intrathecal narcotic analgesia is used increasingly in fast-tracking cardiac surgical protocols. Modern anesthetic and analgesic techniques include resurgence of older agents (2-chloroprocaine) as well as new agents (levobupivacaine and ropivacaine) that are used in conj… Show more

“…Unfortunately, no local anesthetic can provide a block with rapid onset, predictable duration, good effectiveness and reliability, fast recovery, and lack of side effects. 1,2 For many years, spinal lidocaine has been the local anesthetic of choice for outpatient surgery because of its profile of fast onset and short duration. However, transient neurological symptoms (TNS), described as back pain with irradiation to the lower extremities, have been reported.…”

“…Subarachnoid anesthesia consists of the administration of local anesthetics in the intrathecal space, suppressing nerve conduction through the spinal cord. It is relatively easy and inexpensive technique and widely used worldwide 1 .…”

“…In addition and according to this metanalysis, among obstetric patients, there were no significant differences between mediums (35). Pathophysiologically this phenomenon is explained by the loss of CSF which drains faster than produced, generating a difference in pressures and traction of the intracranial contents in upright position (36). The imbalance is generated from the orifice of the dura after the puncture, and a depends on its shape and size (36).…”

“…A new anatomical reference point for the identification of the intervertebral space has been radiologically described showing that the 10th intercostal arch is aligned to L2's spinous process. Others have used other imaging tools during puncture and regional anesthesia including fluoroscopy, with the disadvantage of subjecting the patient to radiation, to ultrasound, both demonstrating a reduction in complications as there is less needle manipulation to reach the desired space and performance of the puncture avoiding injuring any vascular or neurological structure (36,47).…”
