Can Spinal Anesthesia Cause Cardiac Arrest?

1. Spinal anesthesia generally does not cause cardiac arrest. Spinal anesthesia may be related to lumbar disc herniation or lumbar muscle strain.

2. Lumbar numbness may be caused by lumbar disc herniation or lumbar muscle strain, which may be triggered by factors such as prolonged bowing and bending, sedentary work, and unhealthy lifestyles. This can lead to limited mobility for patients, but generally does not cause cardiac arrest. Patients can undergo detailed hospital examinations for diagnosis. If the cause is lumbar disc herniation, treatment options include hemilaminectomy, total laminectomy, and interbody fusion surgery. If the cause is lumbar muscle strain, it can be alleviated through hot compresses or by taking ibuprofen sustained-release capsules or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets under a doctor's guidance.

3. Cardiac arrest refers to the sudden cessation of the heart's pumping function, with the disappearance of pulsation in the major arteries and heart sounds, primarily caused by ventricular fibrillation. Clinical symptoms include the absence of pulsation in the carotid and femoral arteries and the inability to hear the heartbeat in the precordium, requiring prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation treatment.
