A rare case of total spinal anesthesia occurred after a posterior lumbar plexus block. This highlights the need for cautious, slow injection during lumbar plexus procedures to prevent serious complications.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Lumbar plexus blocks are commonly used for hip surgery anesthesia.
  • The posterior approach is a recognized technique for lumbar plexus blockade.

Observation:

  • A patient developed total spinal anesthesia following a posterior lumbar plexus block for total hip arthroplasty.
  • Initial aspiration and test doses were negative before the main injection.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced a complete anesthetic block, hypotension, and loss of consciousness after receiving 27 mL of anesthetic.
  • Intubation and mechanical ventilation were required for 3.5 hours, with no lasting sequelae.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential risk of unintended total spinal anesthesia with posterior lumbar plexus blocks.

  • Recommendations include cautious technique and slow, fractionated injection of anesthetic agents to mitigate risks.
