[Incidence in Catalonia of spinal cord compression due to spinal hematoma secondary to neuraxial anesthesia].
To study the incidence in Catalonia of spinal cord compression due to spinal hematoma secondary to neuraxial anesthesia. ⋯ The incidence of spinal hematoma after neuraxial anesthesia is slightly more than 1 per 150 000 anesthesias-a similar finding to that of other epidemiological studies. The incidence is slightly higher in epidural anesthesia. These data imply a risk of approximately 1 spinal hematoma per year in Catalonia.
