Complications in Spinal Anaesthesia

Important Complications of Anaesthesia

There are three main types of anaesthesia General anaesthesia: the patient is sedated, using either intravenous medications or gaseous substances, and occasionally muscles paralysed, requiring control of breathing by mechanical ventilation Regional anaesthesia: this can be described as central where anaesthetic drugs are administered directly in or around the spinal cord, blocking the nerves of...

Neuraxial Anaesthesia Complications

The presence of certain underlying medical conditions, such as psoriasis, diabetes, leukaemia or previous neurological diseases, are increased risk factors for more complications [3]. Even when many of them are due to anaesthetic techniques it should be also considered the influence of some other variables such as delivery [4] or the type of surgery, because the neurological deficits are very f...

REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA Complications of peripheral nerve blocks

Key points † Serious complications of peripheral nerve blocks include nerve injury, catheter infection, bleeding, and LAST. † Intraneural injection occurs frequently with nerve stimulator or ultrasound-guided techniques. It is rarely associated with nerve injury. † Lipid emulsion therapy is effective in treating severe LAST. Summary Complications of peripheral nerve blocks are fortunately rare,...

Complications of anaesthesia in neuromuscular disorders.

The purpose of this review is to alert non-anaesthesiologists to the various complications from which patients with neuromuscular disorders and those susceptible to malignant hyperthermia can suffer during anaesthesia. The patient's outcome correlates with the quality of consultation between anaesthesiologists, surgeons, neurologists and cardiologists. Special precautions must be taken, since m...
