Regional anesthesia
Advantages of a subarachnoid block
- Improved analgesia,greater and quicker mobility.
- Decrease stress response
- Decreased thromboembolic complications
- Decrease blood loss and transfusion requirements
- No aspiration pneumonia
- Decreased opiate requirements and its side effects
- No airway manipulation
- Minimal or no effects on foetal and maternal physiology
- Earlier establishment of breast feeding and GI function
The last two are true for obstetric patients,so when studying we have to read as 9 points because that is how it will be asked in exams,keep it simple and to the point.
