Abstract
Spinal anesthesia is a method of neuroaxial anesthesia in which a local anesthetic is applied to the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord leading to blocking the conduction of painful stimuli in the area innervated by anesthetized nerves. This form of anesthesia is particularly suitable for surgeries performed below the level of the navel. When performing this form of anesthesia, the local anesthetic is applied to the space between the two vertebrae with a thin needle. During this procedure, the patient sits or lies on his side, and the speed of drug administration depends on the patient’s cooperation and the anatomy of the spine. Spinal anesthesia typically acts for about 2-3 hours, after which the patient begins to regain sensation in the anesthetized area.
