The nurse should prep with antiseptic for the procedure in the lumbar portion of the spine.
A form of neuraxial anesthesia known as spinal anesthesia involves injecting local anesthetic (LA) into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the lumbar spine in order to numb the nerves that leave the spinal cord.
The most typical applications of spinal anaesthetic include lower extremity, lower abdomen, pelvic, and perineal procedures. Sometimes, spinal anesthesia is employed during spine surgery.
In order to administer spinal anesthesia, a needle is inserted between the lumbar vertebrae and through the dura.
For lower abdomen surgery, spinal anesthesia is often administered between L3 and L4 in the lumbar region of the spine. The pelvis includes the posterior iliac spine.
