Spinal anaesthesia: an update
Developments in needle design have been driven largely by the need to reduce the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). Reduction in needle size reduced significantly the incidence of PDPH, but technical difficulties leading to failure of spinal anaesthesia are common when needles of 29G or smaller are used. However, development of atraumatic ‘pencil-point’ needles also led to a redu...

Sir,—The success of regional anaesthesia depends upon accurate placement of local anaesthetic solution in the proximity of nerve trunks [1] without causing sequelae such as neural lesions and damage to blood vessels, tendons, muscles or pleura [2-6]. The classic methods of locating nerves used the production of paraesthesiae with the standard bevel needle. New techniques have been developed whi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To investigate the differences in the number of squamous epithelial cells carried to the spinal canal by three different types of spinal needle tip of the same size. METHODS Patients were allocated into three groups (Group I, Group II, Group III). Spinal anesthesia was administered to Group I (n=50) using a 25G Quincke needle, to Group II (n=50) using a 25G pencil po...
