Abstract

Regional anesthesia offers safe, effective, and economical over general anaesthesia. Combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) has been used even for last two decades and involves the use of a minimal dose of spinal anesthetic for a shorter duration but allows flexibility of epidural reinforcement if necessary. CSEA technique has been used without any report of a unique or major complications attributed to the technique.1, 2 There are four main varieties of CSEA and a review of its history provides the opportunity to describe this sub – division.
