Aspirin and spinal haematoma after neuraxial anaesthesia: Myth or reality?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ischaemia is one of the causative mechanisms of peripheral nerve injury, a documented complication of regional anaesthesia. Local anaesthetics per se and/or vasopressor adjuvants may account for changes in peripheral nerve blood flow. The aim of this study was to test the effects of levobupivacaine and ropiv...
