Spinal Block
Rapid onset . Intense Block . Easy tech . Low L.A dose required . Smaller the gauge the lower P.D.P.H ( G23 –G 25 ) .
More hypotensive more CVS effect . Shorter duration ( 2 -3 hr ) Inability to extend the duration .
WWW.SMSO.NET
Epidural Anesthesia
Should not puncture dura high incidence of PDPH Slower onset . Acting on myelinated nerves . Unpredicted block level . Difficult tech. High failure rate (patchy) . High dose of L.A used systemic TOX.
Catheter prolong the duration . 72 -96 hr . Less hypotensive less CVS effect . Postop. analgesia . WWW.SMSO.NET
