    AbstractAmong patients needing open abdominal surgery, those with high-risk medical conditions impose significant challenges from an anesthesia point of view. Thoracic continuous spinal anesthesia (TCSA) is an evolving technique that may be beneficial for a subset of patients with underlying high-risk medical conditions where general anesthesia (GA) becomes a relative contraindication. TCSA, as a primary anesthesia technique, is gaining favor for its advantages over GA in open abdominal surgery as it avoids airway intervention and mechanical ventilation. The current article focuses on TCSA in 2 patients at high risk for GA, which resulted in favorable perioperative outcomes.Copyright © 2024 International Anesthesia Research Society.
