3D animation to inform patients about the procedure and the risks of spinal anesthesia. By injecting a local anesthetic into the spinal canal (cerebrospinal fluid space) at the level of the lumbar spine, the transmission of signals in the nerves emanating from the spinal cord is inhibited. This allows large areas of the body to be anaesthetized in a short time with few side effects.
