Abstract
This manuscript describes 14 cases of thoracic spinal anaesthesia for patients with for certain cases such as laparoscopic surgeries and other upper abdominal surgeries. Although routinely not used, thoracic spinal anaesthesia has been demonstrated as a safe and effective method for various surgeries. The procedure has been shown as beneficial in maintaining hemodynamic stability for these patients and reducing side effects encountered with general anaesthesia. This study describes the procedure of thoracic segmental spinal anaesthesia and explains the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients who have undergone this procedure.
