In this episode, Anya recounts the frightening experience of having a total spinal during the delivery of her daughter in 2022, and the consequences of that event on her postpartum recovery. Tune in to hear Anya and Dr. M talk about high and total spinals, missed opportunities, and ways to improve safety and communication on L&D!
A high or total spinal blockade is one of the most feared anesthetic complications for providers on L&D. High or total spinal epidural blockade occurs when local anesthetic spreads too high within the neuraxial space and causes a variety of symptoms such as difficulty breathing, arm and upper body weakness, respiratory depression and even hemodynamic collapse.
