Study Overview
Brief Summary
The combination of general anesthesia to spinal and epidural techniques (CSEGA) proved to have a synergistic effect, thus, the use of sub-anesthetic doses can provide satisfactory anesthetic and analgesic results. CSEGA has several known advantages including appropriate postoperative analgesia, shows some benefit in the intraoperative blood loss control causing a decreased need for blood transfusion, rapid regain of the gastrointestinal actions and decreases the incidence of postoperative respiratory complications. Unfortunately, the drawbacks of using neuro-axial anesthesia in combination to general anesthesia will be not thoroughly introduced in many researches, thus, remain unclear.
