Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract

Here we discussed a patient with known bronchiectasis undergone mastectomy with axillary lymphnode dissection under thoracic spinal block at mid thoracic level without any intra and post operative complications
