Summary
A 32-year-old male with a spinal cord injury (SCI) at the level of T4 from a motor vehicle accident nine months ago presents for a pre-surgical anesthesia evaluation. He will be undergoing a lithotripsy for bladder stones. He has no sensation below the level of T4. Apart from the SCI, he has no other medical problems. What are your considerations for this patient? If this patient has autonomic dysreflexia, how would this change your anesthetic plan?
