Spinal anesthesia is used with great popularity to offer optimum operative condition and analgesia. Spinal anesthesia however, may frequently entail various complications such as by potension, nausea and vomiting, respiratory difficulty, headache, dysuria, lumbago and neurological deterioration. Almost all of these complications can be prevented with careful management of the patient.
The author obtained ´following results after careful observations for post-spinal anesthesia complications.
1. Immediate post-anesthetic complications were hypotension(40.1%), nausea and vomiting (8.0%), and convulsion (1.5%). Respiratory arrest with coma and high fever elevation were noted in one patient respectively.
2. Complications after recovery from anesthesia were lumbago(11.5%), dysuria(8.3%), and headache (8.0%) in order. Two patients revealed neurological symptoms.
3. Two patients developed respiratory arrest after a certain period of time lapsed following administration of 2㎎ of morphine mixed with the local anesthetic agent in order to obtain postoperative analgesia.
