Abstract

In recent times, cervical epidural anesthesia has gained popularity; however, few anesthesiologists practice this technique. It is performed in the neck region, between the C5-T1 vertebral spaces. It is effective as an anesthetic for surgical procedures on the neck, breasts, shoulders and upper limbs. It maintains coronary perfusion pressure, which is why it is considered cardioprotective, being considered a safe anesthetic technique.
