Article Abstract
After extradural blockade failed to extend sufficiently for elective Caesarean section, spinal anaesthesia was performed using 1.6 ml of hyperbaric 0.5% bupivacaine solution in 8% glucose (Marcain Heavy). The patient rapidly developed sensory blockade to the level of T2, and became distressed and dyspnoeic. General anaesthesia was induced. Despite i.v. ephedrine and fluid loading, severe hypotension occurred, which responded subsequently to further doses of ephedrine and infusion of colloid. A healthy infant was delivered by Caesarean section.

Adhering to established guidelines, regional anesthesia (RA) and pain interventions are essential for preventing or minimizing the risk of complications. This study examines neurological complications that may arise when RA or pain interventions are performed without adherence to the clinical practice guidelines. This article aimed to emphasize the relationship between deviations from standards of care in RA and neurological outcomes.

Background: Surgical treatment of therapy-resistant radiculopathy associated with lumbar herniated discs in patients with extreme obesity is a challenge for neurosurgeons. In addition to technical problems in surgery due to the abundant subcutaneous adipose tissue and perioperative risks, there are significant anesthetic risks when anesthesia is performed with a patient in the prone position. A surgical procedure should preferably be minimally traumatic and quick with minimal risks of complications.

Stem cell transplantation is a promising strategy to establish neural relays in situ for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. Recent research has reported short-term survival of exogenous cells, irrespective of immunosuppressive drugs (ISD), results in similar function recovery, though the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to validate this short-term repair effect and the potential mechanisms in large animals.
