Cervical Spine Fixation in a High-Risk Patient Using Continuous Thoracic Spinal Anesthesia With Hypobaric Agents: A Case Report

General anesthesia (GA) is often preferred for cervical spine surgeries; however, it may pose risks for patients with severe comorbidities. This case report describes management of cervical decompression laminectomy using continuous thoracic spinal anesthesia (TSA) with hypobaric levobupivacaine in a high-risk elderly patient. This technique provided an effective alternative to GA.

Abstract

General anesthesia (GA) is often preferred for cervical spine surgeries; however, it may pose risks for patients with severe comorbidities. This case report describes management of cervical decompression laminectomy using continuous thoracic spinal anesthesia (TSA) with hypobaric levobupivacaine in a high-risk elderly patient. This technique provided an effective alternative to GA.
