In a prospective study, 69 young adults, range 19-28 years, were given spinal anesthesia. Three patients developed postspinal puncture headache and three patients experienced transient backache. No other complications were observed. The results indicate that spinal anesthesia may be used even in young adults. This seems to contrast with the practice in most other Norwegian hospitals, where spinal anesthesia is given mainly to patients older than 40 years of age, based on the notion that the frequency of postspinal puncture headache is unproportionally high in younger patients.
在一项前瞻性研究中，对69名年龄在19至28岁之间的年轻成年人实施了脊髓麻醉。3名患者出现了腰穿后头痛，3名患者经历了短暂的背痛。未观察到其他并发症。结果表明，即使在年轻成年人中也可使用脊髓麻醉。这似乎与挪威大多数其他医院的做法形成对比，在这些医院，基于年轻患者腰穿后头痛发生率不成比例地高这一观念，脊髓麻醉主要用于40岁以上的患者。
