Spread of spinal block in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 09/08/09
Leino K et al. – The mean spread of sensory block 30 min after the injection of plain bupivacaine was 1.5 segments cephalad in patients with rheumatoid arthritis than in those without this disease. BMI might be a patient–related factor contributing to the extent of the block in rheumatoid patients. These findings should be considered when performing a spinal block in rheumatoid patients.
