Thoracic segmental spinal anaesthesia a boon in challenging case scenarios: A case series   

Abstract

Thoracic segmental spinal anaesthesia is a regional anaesthesia technique that can strategically serve as an alternative asset to general anaesthesia for certain high-risk cases. The procedure is picking up pace as it is beneficial in maintaining hemodynamic stability for these patients and reducing side effects encountered with general anaesthesia. Segmental Thoracic Spinal anaesthesia is a realistic, reliable, and reasonable anaesthesia technique that can be implemented for abdominal and thoracic surgeries. Additionally, it has fewer postoperative complications and superior patient satisfaction. We would like to discuss 5 case scenarios where TSA were used mode of anaesthesia as they were found to be high risk for GA.
