There is significant and renewed attentiveness in the use of regional anesthesia techniques for many common surgeries. The vast majority of anesthesiologists world wide use the routinely the hyperbaric solution of bupivacaine for almost all types of surgery. However, they ignore that spinal anesthesia has more to offer. A different kind of technique for a different kind of patients. The understanding of spinal anesthesia in relation to sensory and motor blocks with hyperbaric and isobaric solutions is shown in this article. The possibilities of performing unilateral spinal anesthesia are described.

Introduction

Spinal anesthesia has always seduced us, and it is recognized for its simplicity. After the solution is Citation: Imbelloni LE, Gouveia MA, Ghorayeb NM, Neto SVL (2021) Spinal Anesthesia: Much More Than Single Shot of Hyperbaric Bupivacaine. Imbelloni et al Int J Anesthetic Anesthesiol 2021, 8:122 Page 1 of 9 . Infused in the spinal anesthesia, the anesthesiologist is no longer the one who decides what will happen, but it is the encounter of the local anesthetic with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that will result in the outcome. I did what I know, but this combination is independent of me. We can only innovate in spinal anesthesia with knowledge.
