Abstract

Spinal anaesthesia is commonly used in lower extremity operations and is prefered to general anaethesia for reasons like reducing morbidity in high risk patients and inhibiting stress after surgery. Still it can cause cardiovascular changes like hypotantion and bradycardia. So unilateral anaesthesia is prefered in high risk patients for less hemodynamic instability. We aimed to share our unilateral spinal anaesthesia experience in an ASA IV E patient with ejection fraction 28%.
