Abstract Background: Reduced lumbar lordosis may make the process of identifying the intervertebral distance easier. The primary aim of this study was to measure the L3-L4 intervertebral space in the same patients undergoing spinal anesthesia in three different sitting positions, including the classic s...
Abstract Background: Ultra-low-dose Spinal Anesthesia (SA) is the practice of employing minimal doses of intrathecal agents so that only the roots that supply a specific area are anesthetized. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of ultra-low-dose spinal anesthesia with that...

Objetivo: Describir la frecuencia y los factores asociados con el desarrollo de la cefalea p...
Abstract Introduction Spinal infusions of either fentanyl or sufentanil have been reported in international reports, articles, and scientific events worldwide. This study aimed to determine whether intrathecal fentanyl or sufentanil offers safety in mortality and perioperative adverse events. Methods M...
Abstract Background Post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is of common occurrence, and it hampers tissue perfusion. Several preoperative factors determine patient susceptibility to hypotension. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index (IVCCI) for predictin...
OBJECTIVES: To describe the anesthetic techinque used during EXIT-like procedures and assess its effects in the overall success rate of the intervention. METHODOLOGY: Retrospective cohort study of 32 mother-newborn pairs with an antenatal diagnosis of gastroschisis in whom a primary closure was planned u...
OBJECTIVES: To Synthesize the most used adjuvants in spinal anesthesia, summarize the mechanisms of action, indication, dose, adverse events, and safety outcomes described. METHODOLOGY: Non-systematic review in the medline, embase, central and Scielo databases without time or language limits, focused on ...
OBJECTIVES: Spinal anesthesia is a technique in which a local anesthetic is administered into the subarachnoid space. For this, different caliber and style needles are used, one of them, the pencil point needle, has reported a lower incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) and adverse events. How...
BACKGROUND: Anesthesia during brachytherapy therapy poses a significant challenge as radiotherapy rooms are neither designed nor equipped for the administration of anesthesia. AIMS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent brachytherapy performed under anesthesia, to describe t...
