Cardiac arrest during spinal anesthesia is a rare but highly fatal event, with administration by the surgeon rather than an anesthesiologist being a major risk factor.
Charuluxananan et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Patients receiving spinal anesthesia (n=40,271). Spinal anesthesia administered by the surgeon was evaluated on Cardiac arrest during spinal anesthesia (OR 23.508, 95% CI 6.112-90.415, p=<0.001). Spinal anesthesia administered by the surgeon was associated with a significantly increased risk of intraoperative cardiac arrest (OR 23.508; 95% CI 6.112-90.415; P<0.001).
