NCT01291186

Brief Summary

The effect of Body-mass index (BMI) on requirements of local anesthetics used in spinal anesthesia has not been well established. The investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on spinal anesthesia by comparing the median effective dose of intrathecal bupivacaine between two different BMI groups.
