Spinal anesthesia is a commonly performed regional technique by a majority of the anesthesiologists worldwide. This technique is learnt early during training and relatively easy to master. Despite being the oldest regional anesthesia technique, it continues to evolve and develop in various aspects. This review attempts to highlight the recent advances in this 〞almost-perfect〞 technique with respect to indications, procedure, drugs, and strategies to minimize side effects. Understanding the finer aspects and knowledge gaps will help postgraduates and practicing anesthesiologists in designing patient specific techniques and interventions.
椎管内麻醉是一种在全球范围内被大多数麻醉医师广泛应用的区域麻醉技术。这种技术在培训早期就会被学习，而且相对容易掌握。尽管它是最古老的区域麻醉技术，但它仍在各个方面不断发展和完善。本文综述旨在就适应证、操作、药物和减少不良反应的策略等方面，强调这一“近乎完美”技术的最新进展。了解更细微的方面和知识差距将有助于研究生和执业麻醉医师设计针对患者的具体技术和干预措施。
