Happy Thanksgiving my fellows here, I wish you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch and dinner with your family and friends.
A quick question :
We know we have that normal lumbar lordosis, and when it comes to using Hyperbaric Bupivacaine in spinals, how important to you to flex the hips and knees of your patient after laying supine, especially for procedure like inguinal hernia, lower abdominal surgeries?
I meant hyperbaric Bupivacaine, so for how long would you recommend to keep the patient in flexing status, beside would you recommend reverse trendelenburg position too (just a little bit)? If yes, when, I mean while flexing or after flexing time is over!
I was about to write another case - to address my successful dealing with Mr. Lordosis in a patient who had bilateral inguinal hernia repair, but definitely will be presented during the comments if any.
Love to hear your perspective.
