Abstract
Background: Nowadays, spinal anesthesia (SA) for trauma and orthopedics low limb surgery
becomes a standard procedure because of its simplicity and fewer complications versus general
anesthesia (GA). The development of peroperative hypotension and bradicardia during SA are
common side effects, and they can be found in less than 30% of the cases (mostly in emergent
cases and geriatric population) (1). Low dose SA with its quick onset and few complications
seem to be an alternative for those patients. There are only few data about its use in emergent
trauma patients (2, 3, 4).
The aim of the study was to compare the effects of standard spinal anesthesia (SSA) vs.
LDSA in emergency trauma cases and to analyze its efficiency, peroperative clinical manifestation
and side effects.
