ABSTRACT

Background: High spinal neuraxial anesthesia is a controversial issue when used in surgery. Objective: To describe the results of the application of high spinal neuraxial anesthesia in reductive mammaplasty surgery. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima General University Hospital of Cienfuegos from June 2006 to June 2009. It included 90 patients who underwent surgery with high spinal neuraxial anesthesia. The following variables were analyzed: age, body mass index, HbO2 saturation, blood pressure, heart rate, use of preemptive analgesia, postoperative analgesia behavior, satisfaction level, complications, surgical technique and duration of surgery and anesthesia application. Results: 50% of patients were between 35 and 44 years old; 46, 7% were overweight; 80% had surgery for breast hypertrophy; reductive mastopalstia was performed in 97, 8% of cases; no patients presented rates of high blood pressure before or after the application of anesthesia; 41.1% showed low levels of blood pressure after anesthesia; heart rate was low in 31, 1% of cases after the application of anesthesia and high in 4, 4%. Postoperative analgesia was good in 87, 8% of patients, there was no ventilatory complication and 100% of patients expressed their satisfaction with the anesthetic technique. Conclusions: The application of this anesthetic technique can successfully develop surgeries with minimal risks and complications for patients.
