Have a 60-something patient coming for TAH-BSO (usual duration for this surgeon approx. 2hrs barring any complications) and absolutely does not want GA and is requesting that I give her a spinal. Never done that for a TAH before and she's quite short: approx. 4'8" maybe 4'10" tops and weighs probably 100lb. I'm planning to do a CSE, but not sure how to dose up the spinal. i'm afraid with a full 2cc of 0.75% bupiv she'll get a high spinal. Suggestions please? Isobaric?
