Comparação dos efeitos e das complicações de raquianestesia unilateral versus raquianestesia padrão em cirurgia ortopédica de membros inferiores

Abstract

When unilateral spinal anesthesia was performed using a low-dose, low-volume and low-flow injection technique, it provides adequate sensory-motor block and helps to achieve stable hemodynamic parameters during orthopedic surgery on a lower limb. Patients were more satisfied with this technique as opposed to the conventional approach. Furthermore, this technique avoids unnecessary paralysis on the non-operated side.
