Hello Dr. Adam. I usually make this block. It's very nice. But, It depend what you wish to do with your patient, so, the procedure LPB could be difficult if you aren't expert. But, you are right, rachianesthesia could be quicker and safer ... but, sometimes you can't do rachianesthesia, as hypovolemic shock, it could be a great option for your patient. Greets
Frailty in the elderly and patients with heart failure are the cases that first come up to my mind. This groups can't compensate adequately after SAIH onsets.
Why not just do a spinal? Especially if you’re concerned about coagulopathy? Wouldn’t that be quicker and safer??
