Key result
Continuous spinal anesthesia provided stable hemodynamics and adequate anesthesia without major incidents in two elderly, precarious patients with cardiac comorbidities undergoing lower limb amputation.
Why the study?
Continuous spinal anesthesia is underused despite potential advantages for hemodynamic stability and serving as an alternative to heavy anesthesia in fragile patients.

Does continuous spinal anesthesia provide hemodynamic stability in precarious elderly patients with cardiac diseases undergoing lower limb amputation?
Continuous spinal anesthesia provided stable hemodynamics and safe surgical conditions for two precarious elderly patients with cardiac comorbidities undergoing lower limb amputation.
Eddy et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Dry gangrene requiring lower limb amputation in patients with cardiac comorbidities (n=2). Continuous Spinal Anesthesia (CSA) was evaluated on Hemodynamic stability and survival. Continuous spinal anesthesia provided stable hemodynamics and adequate anesthesia without major incidents in two elderly, precarious patients with cardiac comorbidities undergoing lower limb amputation.
