Abstract

Clinical course of spinal block, intensity of its manifestation, quality of spinal anesthesia and occurrence of complications are mainly caused by level of local anesthetic distribution in subarachnoid space. Several factors responsible of this process and consequently neuraxial block are currently found out. The presented lecture considers the most clinically significant factors.
