Summary

- Although bupivacaine is safe and has a low rate of transient neurologic symptoms, the prolonged sensory and motor block is a drawback for day-case spinal anesthesia.Intrathecal hyperbaric prilocaine causes a much shorter motor block, with a similar onset time and lower inter-individual variability in motor block duration. Furthermore, the peripheral nerve block is used as an adjunct to the spinal anesthesia to prolong the surgical anesthetic conditions.
