[Subarachnoid anesthesia and peridural anesthesia: which are the causes of total failure? A clinical case].
The paper reports the case of patient undergoing cystoscopy and subsequently radical cystectomy suffering from BPCO and pulmonary emphysema who received sub-arachnoid anesthesia during the first operation and peridural anesthesia during the second, with total failure both times. The techniques were correctly performed and on both occasions it was necessary to resort to general anesthesia in order to perform the operation.
