hello',
I was waiting to read replies for this.For I am always in the same dilemma while doing this type of
patients .
I avoid epidural & give single shot spinal with 26g needle.Do arthroscopies in femoral block.Real problem is hip surgery in this pt when spinal is problem due to associated cardiac problems.
would like to know ur protocol.
