The thoracic spinal anesthesia was first described in 1909 and recently revised for various surgical procedures. This is a prospective study aims to evaluate the parameters of the thoracic spinal anesthesia (latency, motor block and paresthesia), the incidence of cardiovascular changes and complications comparing low doses of isobaric and hyperbaric bupivacaine.
