We describe a case of transient pain in both legs after spinal anaesthesia with a hyperbaric solution of 5% lignocaine delivered in a single bolus through a 22-gauge Quincke needle. The patient remained in a supine decubitus position throughout surgery and 31 h later pain was referred bilaterally to the L3 and L4 dermatomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
