easier to predict the spread of spinal anaesthesia when using a hyperbaric agent. Isobaric preparations may be made hyperbaric by the addition of dextrose. Hypobaric agents are not generally available. In my patient we have used plain bupivacaine 0.5% with 0.2 mg morphine. Bupivacaine (Marcaine) is 0.5% hyperbaric (heavy) solution is the best agent to use if it is available. 0.5% plain bupivacaine is also popular. Bupivacaine lasts longer than most other spinal anaesthetics: usually 2-3 hours

Scott Adzick‚ MD‚ and other members of CHOP’s Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment team‚ it occurs when the spinal cord does not properly close before birth. That means that the spinal cord is exposed to amniotic fluid during fetal life. Amniotic fluid is the watery fluid within the innermost membrane that encloses the embryo and surrounds the fetus throughout pregnancy. Amniotic fluid is also
