The one that paralyzes the respiratory muscles.
When the level of anesthesia is above the recommended for surgery and you feel discomfort, trouble breathing, cannot speak, and maybe will need help to breathe or intubation.
It refers to anesthetic reaching a high level along the spine which can cause issues with breathing and heart rate.
This refers to a spinal where the level of anesthesia is in the chest or neck area that causes blood pressure or breathing problems.
