Q1 · Spinal Anaesthesia
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Spinal anaesthesia injects local anaesthetic directly into the CSF in the subarachnoid space, producing rapid, dense sensory and motor block of the lower body. It is commonly used for lower-limb, pelvic, and caesarean surgery.
Q2 · Level of Spinal Injection
NEET PGMediumExplanation
The spinal cord usually ends, at the conus medullaris, around L1 to L2 in adults, so spinal anaesthesia is given below this level, commonly L3-L4, to avoid cord injury, entering the CSF where only the cauda equina nerve roots lie.
Q3 · Spinal Hypotension
MediumExplanation
Spinal anaesthesia blocks sympathetic fibres, causing vasodilation and hypotension, sometimes with bradycardia. It is managed with IV fluids and vasopressors such as phenylephrine or ephedrine. A high block can also impair breathing.
Q4 · Epidural versus Spinal
MediumExplanation
Epidural anaesthesia deposits local anaesthetic in the epidural space, outside the dura, giving a slower onset than spinal but allowing a catheter for continuous or repeated dosing — useful for labour analgesia and postoperative pain. It uses larger drug volumes than spinal.
Q5 · Post-Dural Puncture Headache
NEET PGHardExplanation
A post-dural puncture headache results from ongoing CSF leakage through the dural hole, lowering CSF pressure; it is classically postural, worse upright. Management ranges from conservative measures to an epidural blood patch for severe or persistent cases.
Q6 · Peripheral Nerve Blocks
EasyExplanation
Ultrasound guidance lets the anaesthetist visualise the target nerve, the needle, and the spread of local anaesthetic in real time, improving the success and safety of peripheral nerve blocks compared with landmark or nerve-stimulator techniques alone.
Regional Anaesthesia sits within Anaesthesia, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 6 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 1 of them at Hard, and 3 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Regional Anaesthesia marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Anaesthesia examiners keep returning to.
FAQ
Yes. Every question and explanation in this Regional Anaesthesia set is free and open — no login, no form and no payment. The explanation appears the moment you answer.
Regional Anaesthesia sits within Anaesthesia, which appears in the same form in both syllabuses. Airway, anaesthetic drugs and peri-operative care, one of the most repetitive small subjects in the paper.
