Case Report: The Combined Spinal and Caudal (CSC) Anesthetic-Is this the New Ideal Anesthetic in a Formerly Preterm, High-Risk Infant with Chronic Lung Disease Undergoing Infraumbilical Surgery?

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Postoperative apnea is a well-recognized clinical entity commonly occurring in formerly preterm, high-risk infants. Spinal anesthesia has been demonstrated to be an attractive alternative to general anesthesia as it is associated with reduction of early risk of postoperative apnea in infants, hence it has become a valuable anesthetic technique in infraumbilical and lower extremity procedures, including inguinal herniorrhaphy.
