LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF PATIENTS WHO RECEIVED 10,098 SPINAL ANESTHETICS: FAILURE TO DISCOVER MAJOR NEUROLOGICAL SEQUELAE
Abstract
In anesthesiology there is a continuing healthy criticism of the agents and techniques used to achieve practical and safe conditions for surgical operations. This criticism arises both from within the ranks of the specialty and from outside. Hardly a drug or method is free of major disadvantages. Recent reports have described what seems to be an increasing incidence of cardiac arrest under anesthesia.1General anesthesia and particularly the employment of multiple agents have been blamed in part for this increased mortality. We hear that ether is not the safe agent it once was thought to be2and that curare may possess an inherent toxicity.3Spinal anesthesia, an anesthetic technique with great advantages for the patient, surgeon, and anesthetist, is relatively free from the criticism of toxicity and the mortality associated with general anesthesia; on the other hand, the great hazard of spinal anesthesia in the minds of

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
