Neuraxial blocks are the ideal anesthetic method and gold standard technique for cesarean section in obese pregnant women. There are three anesthetic techniques: spinal, epidural, and combined spinal-epidural (CSE). Single-shot spinal anesthesia is the most common type of anesthesia used for cesarean sections.

Background: There is no current consensus on the optimal technique for subarachnoid anesthesia in morbidly obese parturients even though some providers prefer the combined spinal-epidural (CSE) over single-shot spinal (SSS) technique. In this randomized controlled study, we compared the time required for initiation of subarachnoid anesthesia between SSS and CSE techniques in morbidly obese

In fact, a recent study reported that fewer attempts were needed to establish spinal anesthesia in the morbidly obese parturients with a CSE technique compared with a single-shot spinal technique

Editor—In 2016, more than 70 000 patients aged ≥60 yr suffered hip fractures in the UK.1-3 After hip fracture, 1-yr mortality is 20-40% and life expectancy is reduced by an average of 1.8 yr.3,4 Hip fractures also impair activities of daily living and quality of life: in a 2003 study 26% of patients required support services at home and 12% moved to a nursing facility 1 yr after hip

Abstract. Neuraxial blockade is a common anesthetic for labor and delivery and orthopedic surgeries. Single shot spinals are a type of neuraxial blockade involving a single administration of intrathecal local anesthetic possibly paired with adjuncts. This chapter reviews techniques for placing a single shot spinal, including positioning, dosing

Caesarean section should whenever possible be performed under neuraxial anaesthesia. Combined spinal-epidural and single-shot spinal anaesthesia are both used. Combined spinal-epidural has gained some popularity in recent years as intra-operative anaesthesia can be continued postoperatively by giving drugs through the epidural catheter 1.

Introduction. Spinal anesthesia is a type of regional anesthesia in which a local anesthetic is injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the spinal cord and nerve roots. 1, 2 It blocks pain from an entire region of the body, such as the hips, the belly, the pelvis, and the legs. 2 Spinal anesthesia is part of the modern practice of anesthesia because of its proven success

Results. Among 592 patients enrolled, 309 received spinal anesthesia and 283 underwent general anesthesia. In both study arms, the most frequently performed surgical procedures were orthopedic and urologic (43.3% and 30.7%, respectively); 66.1% of patients were free to choose their type of anesthesia, 21.8% chose one of the techniques because they were afraid of the other, 16.8% based their

The pre-procedure ultrasonography is effective even in morbidly obese patients, and it is important to recognize the lumbar subcutaneous fat gradient, the so-called back fat slope, for spinal anesthesia in obese patients. It has been reported that pre-procedure ultrasonography rises the success rate of spinal anesthesia in obese patients. In this article, we performed spinal anesthesia for

Single-shot spinal (SSS) anaesthesia is a simple, cheap, and reliable technique used by many anaesthetists as their first option to provide effective anaesthesia during operative delivery of the neonate, especially during planned CS. In the present state-of-the-art review, we will discuss the technique and side effects of SSS during obstetric

Spinal anesthesia is commonly used for cesarean delivery. For single-shot techniques, important considerations include the risks of inadequate anesthesia and adverse events such as hypotension. The incidence and severity of hypotension is influenced by the dose of intrathecal local anesthetic administered.1-3 Several studies have examined the use of low-dose intrathecal bupivacaine.4-7

Abstract. In this Pro-Con commentary article, we discuss whether all general anesthesia should be done using target-controlled propofol anesthesia guided by monitoring of depth of anesthesia. This is an ongoing debate since more than 25 years, representing a scientific, cultural as well as geographical divide in the anesthesia community.

Methods: We enroled 144 primigravida women undergoing elective LSCS and were randomised to Group SB (the ShotBlocker device was firmly pressed over the skin, and the spinal needle was inserted through its slit), Group V (the vapocoolant spray was applied at the puncture site before spinal needle insertion), and Group C (received local infiltration before spinal anaesthesia (SA)).
