Thoracic Spinal Versus Epidural Anesthesia for Nephrectomy in Obstructive/Restrictive Lung Disease Patients

Summary

Patients with respiratory disease have an increased risk of developing complications perioperatively. The use of regional anesthesia decreases this risk with better postoperative outcome. The aim of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of thoracic spinal versus thoracic epidural anesthesia for open nephrectomy in patients with obstructive/restrictive lung disease.
