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.
