Intermittent spinal anesthesia – a viable alternative in hybrid vascular procedures?

In this prospective observational study we analysed anesthetic techniques used in high risk surgical patients who underwent hybrid peripheral revascularization. According to the anticipated duration of surgery, anesthesiologists chose general anesthesia (GA), single-shot or intermittent subarachnoid block (ISAB). The aim of this paper was to present the intraoperative conditions during single-shot subarachnoid block (SS SAB) compared to ISAB with spinal catheter placement. Spinal block distributionwas assessed at the beginning and at the end of the surgery. This study has shown that ISAB is a viable alternative in prolonged hybrid vascular procedures, especially when general anesthesia carries great risk for the patient.
