Overview

May support continuous spinal anesthesia in lower extremity/abdominal procedures; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Is continuous spinal anesthesia safe and effective for surgical procedures on the lower extremities or lower abdomen?

P
Population
52 consecutive patients undergoing surgical procedures on the lower extremities or lower abdomen, mean age 70 years.
I
Intervention
Continuous spinal anesthesia induced and maintained via subarachnoid catheter using lidocaine, procaine, or tetracaine for a mean duration of 181 minutes.
O
Outcome
Safety and efficacy (including hypotension, need for general anesthetic supplementation, and complications)safety

Continuous spinal anesthesia is a safe and effective technique for lower extremity and lower abdominal surgeries, with a low complication rate and manageable hypotension.
