About

The role of neuraxial anesthesia in preventing respiratory complications is a controversial in elderly patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits of neuraxial anesthesia on pulmonary function during post-operative term in geriatric patients undergoing to elective non-abdominal surgery.
