Spinal anesthesia is perhaps one of the oldest and well tested modalities for providing pain relief in patients undergoing surgery. J. Leonard Corning is credited with discovering and administering the first spinal anesthetic in 1885 which was published in a medical journal.1.

Hi,thanks for your good and scientific articles,I am chief anesthesiologist in Imam ali hospital in Chabahar,Iran,and from 6 years ago i use spinal anesthesia in neonates and infants with the best results,not only for patients,
but also for surgeons,and i use small doses of ketamin(1-2mg/kg)plus atropin(20 microgram/kg)for sedation and I never had any complications like apnea or bradycardia or decrease in spo2.I think this will be a good choice.I used this technich for surgery of hypertrofic stenotic pyloris,even,without any complications.
Best Regards.Dr.Hamid Nemati,M.D.

Hi again,I forgote about drug I use for
SA.I use Lidocaine 5%,and according to patient weigth,and I dilute it with CSF,
and I use simple needle,23 gauge,in a sterile and aseptic manner,and in lateral position.In more older children
I use sitting positin without any sedatives and just with talking and reassurancing the patient.Is there any special needle or drug for SA in neonates and infants?
