Subarachnoid spread of isobaric tetracaine in adolescents.
Sir,—In a recent report, Hirabayashi and colleagues [1] showed that subarachnoid administration of hyperbaric amethocaine (tetracaine) produced an unexpectedly higher level of analgesia in adolescents than in adults.

We believe that these conclusions are misleading and unsupported by the results. Maximum cephalad spread of analgesia was quoted as being higher in the second tri...
