With the patient receiving the injection in the horizontal position and then turned supine, the blockade spreads to T4-T7 spinal segments. It should be understood that the level of spinal anesthesia achieved with any local anesthetic can be unpredictable in
a given patient. The Effects of Anespine exceeding 4 ml have not yet been studied and such volumes can therefore not be recommended.

Contraindication & Precaution

 Spinal anesthesia should only be undertaken by clinicians with the necessary knowledge and experience. Patients with hypovolemia due to any cause can develop sudden and severe hypotension during spinal
anesthesia. It is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to it or to any local anesthetic agent of the amide type. The following conditions preclude the use of spinal anesthesia: severe haemorrhage,
severe hypotension or shock and arrhythmias, such as complete heart block, which severely restrict cardiac output.

Side Effect

 The safety of Bupivacaine is comparable to that of other local anesthetics used for spinal anesthesia. In rare cases Bupivacaine has been associated
with allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock. Spinal anesthesia itself can cause hypotension and bradycardia due to sympathetic blockade and/or vasovagal fainting. Systemic adverse reactions are characterized by  numbness of thetongue, Lightheadedness, dizziness and
tremors, followed by convulsions and cardiovascular disorders.
