Overview

Reassures on rarity of serious complications with neuraxial anaesthesia; extends prior incidence estimates in a large contemporary cohort.

Structured PICO

What is the incidence of severe complications associated with spinal and epidural anaesthesia?

Population

Patients receiving spinal or epidural anaesthesia in Finland between May 1987 and December 1993 (estimated 550,000 spinal and 170,000 epidural anaesthetics)

Intervention

Spinal and epidural anaesthesia

Outcome

Incidence of serious complications based on patient insurance claimssafety

Serious complications following spinal and epidural anaesthesia are rare, with incidences of approximately 0.45 and 0.52 per 10,000, respectively.
