Abstract

Although Gray (1) in 1909 and others since then (2–5) have reported the use of spinal anesthesia in infants and children, spinal anesthesia is a technique that is only rarely used today in pediatric patients. Our experience since 1977, however, has confirmed that spinal anesthesia can indeed be a safe alternative to general anesthesia in the pediatric age group. We here summarize our experience with spinal anesthesia in patients under one year of age.
