Thoracic spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section

Abstract

This report shows that the spinal anaesthesia technique, applied in the lower thoracic region (T10) and with a minute dose of local anaesthetic, can be used to provide a segmental subarachnoid block sufficient to allow lower segment caesarean section to be performed, even in a patient with severely abnormal respiratory function and patients having hemodynamically instability like Pre-Eclampsia or even in patients with lower lumbar region skin infections.
