AbstractWith spinal anesthesia the level of surgical analgesia is mostly reported without reference to the neuroanatomic map of spinal nerves. The classical maps are variably and inconsistently reported in many textbooks. Because of the differences between the classical maps of Keegan and Garrett and of Foerster, and also because of the variability in their interpretation, we applied them to the same clinical data. This resulted in a theoretically clinically significant difference of two segments. It is concluded that clear reference should be made to the implemented segmental map in expressing the level of spinal blockade.
