Incidence and predictors of failed spinal anesthesia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The failure rate of spinal anesthesia is significant. Our findings highlight the importance of standardized techniques, optimization of local anesthetic dosage, and continuous training to reduce failures, particularly in resource-limited settings. Key associated factors considered to reduce failures.
