| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Laparoscopic surgery is normally performed under general anesthesia. Thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia (TSSA) can be a suitable alternative to general anesthesia for patients with respiratory diseases, as it avoids the risk of general anesthesia. We successfully managed a 74-year-old lady with COPD undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy with TSSA at T8-T9 interspace using 1.7 ml of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% with 0.3 ml (15mcg) of fentanyl. Some discomfort was managed with 1mg midazolam and 50 mcg fentanyl intravenously. There was no neurological deficit and major hemodynamic fluctuations intra and post-operatively and recovery was uneventful. Keywords: COPD, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia | |
