Keywords. continuous spinal anaesthesia (csa) is an infrequently used anaesthetic technique, where an intrathecal catheter (itc) allows titrated injection of local anaesthetic into the intrathecal space to produce a subarachnoid block. unlike single dose spinal anaesthesia (sdsa) where a fixed larger dose can result in an unpredictable block.

Keywords: obstetric anesthesia, labor analgesia, intrathecal catheters, neuraxial blockade, post dural puncture headache, spinal catheters. continuous spinal anesthesia (csa) is an anesthetic technique that offers several clinical advantages for anesthesia and analgesia in obstetric patients. the level of sensory blockade can be titrated to the. Abstract. continuous spinal anaesthesia combines the advantages of single dose spinal anaesthesia, rapid onset and a high degree of success, with those of a continuous technique. the introduction of micro catheters invigorated interest in the technique and allowed its expansion to additional populations and surgical procedures. Continuous spinal anaesthesia can be used for surgery on the lower abdomen, pelvis and lower limbs where an operation, such as a revision lower limb arthroplasty, has the potential to outlast the duration of sdsa. it may be particularly useful in these situations if there is a reason to avoid general anaes thesia, such as severe respiratory. We conducted a systematic review and meta analysis of contemporary rcts to determine the clinical effectiveness of spinal vs general anaesthesia (sa vs ga) in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery using a consensus based core outcome set, and outcomes defined as important by patient and public involvement (ppi) initiatives.

Unlike general anaesthesia, technological advances have not always improved the safety of csa. tuohy's introduction of ‘spinal’ catheters does not appear to have improved the safety of the technique when compared with the older malleable spinal needles. 9 continuing with this theme, the technical advance of micro spinal catheters in the late 1980s and early 1990s led to multiple cases of. The necessity of securing needles in the subarachnoid space clearly limited the usefulness of the continuous spinal anesthesia technique. the first reported attempt to overcome this limitation was in 1944, when edward tuohy described the use of a 4 french ureteral catheter passed through a 15 g spinal needle into the subarachnoid space. 5 while this technique made continuous access easier (and.
