Effects of patient age, pH of cerebrospinal fluid, and vasopressors on onset and duration of spinal anesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Studies in a variety of disciplines have shown that the readability of Web-based patient education materials is above that of the sixth grade reading level recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The aim of this study was to evaluate the readability, content, and quality of English- ...
