Spinal block needle

A spinal block needle is a surgical tool that is employed to provide a patient with neuraxial regional anesthesia. It is also referred to as a subarachnoid block or an intrathecal block. A local anesthetic or an opioid is injected into the subarachnoid space, which houses the brain, to produce anesthesia.

Local anesthetics

The spinal cord receives an injection of local anesthetics. This makes it possible to paralyze skeletal muscles and perform surgery. After that, vascular absorption is used to eliminate the anesthetic. The anesthetic may, however, cross the plasma membrane and have negative systemic effects. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity is the term used to describe these negative effects with bolus tube feeding.


The subarachnoid space's ability to absorb local anesthetics is influenced by a number of variables. They consist of blood flow, the amount of exposed nerve tissue surface to CSF, and lipid content of the nerve tissue. The length of the blocked nerve and the nerve's physiological state also have an impact on the anesthetic's concentration.


Depending on vascular perfusion, the rate at which local anesthetics are eliminated also varies. The spinal cord's anesthetics are taken out of the body more quickly when there is a faster blood flow. The anesthetics may stay inside the spinal cord for longer if blood flow is reduced.


Lidocaine, bupivacaine, and tetracaine are a few of the local anes utilized in spinal anesthesia. Lidocaine is beneficial for quick procedures. The drug buprenorphine is frequently used for outpatient anesthesia. It comes in dextrose solutions of 0.5%, 0.75%, or 8.25%.


The length of time the nerve is blocked and the time it takes for the local anesthetic to start working both affect how long anesthesia lasts. Long-lasting procedures benefit greatly from the use of buprenorphine.
