Continuous spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia in sepsis diagnosed patients

Abstract

Sepsis is characterized as a severe condition when the body's response to infection becomes uncontrolled, leading to life-threatening organ malfunction. Septic shock, on the other hand, is a specific type of sepsis that involves ongoing low blood pressure. Patients suffering from sepsis may experience unstable blood flow dynamics, and the administration of anesthetic may cause significant low blood pressure as a result of blood vessel dilatation and reduced heart function. Continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) may lead to reduced hypotension and decreased need for vasopressors in comparison to volatile general anesthesia. CSA and combined spinal epidural anesthesia are secure and dependable types of anesthesia.
