The initial demographic variables were similar. It was not interrupted prematurely and the protocol was completed in 100% of patients. It is worth noting that there is no mention of conflicts of interest, funding sources, or whether the outcome assessor was blinded. It is also worth highlighting that the study did not use a “normal weight” control group, but rather, figures reported by Ginosar et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> This work was also not originally intended for comparison with non-obese patients (Brendan Carvalho, Cali, Colombia, personal communication, June 2015). These points carry a higher risk of bias for the study.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another weakness of the study is the small sample size, which had adequate statistical power to fulfill the main objective. However, it is not sufficient in finding significant differences to fulfill the secondary objectives.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This is the first study that calculates ED50 and ED95 of spinal anesthesia for use in morbidly obese patients in cesarean delivery. The logistical regression employed to determine ED50 and ED95 has been amplified using medical literature. However, through this method, ED50 is obtained with higher precision than ED95, since it is extrapolated from the plateau located in the top portion of the curve. This is why the ED95 obtained is 15<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg, higher than the group studied with the highest dose (11<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg). It is important to note that the 15<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg dose of bupivacaine has not been tested, so its use is not recommended.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors state that the ED50 and ED95 values are similar to those of normal weight patients. However, a control group was not used to support this statement and is only based on a previous study, which could lead to further bias. Even though it was conducted by the same group of researchers with a similar methodology, equal results cannot be concluded. However, these results are concordant with previous research which has estimated the intrathecal dose of bupivacaine in cesarean delivery to be similar between obese and non-obese patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a></p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The highest failure rate was reported when using low doses of local anesthesia, which is concordant with the meta-analysis conducted by Arzola et al., who determined that using doses lower than 8<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg of intrathecal bupivacaine increases the risk of intraoperative pain by 3.75 times (CI 95% 2.38–5.92) along with an increased risk of nausea, whereas converting to general anesthesia reduces the necessary number to cause harm to only 4 patients (CI 95%: 2–7).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> The potential switch to general anesthesia is especially important since the management of the obese patient's airway presents a greater challenge. As a consequence, we do not recommend decreasing the dose in morbidly obese patients unless the anesthesia is reinforced by an epidural catheter. Lastly, it is always necessary to consider the experience of the surgical team with regards to technique and duration of the procedure.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As for the secondary outcomes, duration times for surgery and the period of recovery were similar among groups; this finding is repeated in measuring the time needed to reach a T6 sensory level. There were no differences in the pain level among groups and in the moment of surgical incision, uterine exteriorization, fetal extraction and closure. However, the study does not have sufficient statistical power to determine differences in these outcomes.</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To complement these findings, a recent study has demonstrated a higher incidence of high spinal block in super obese patients (CMI above 50<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>kg<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>m<span class="elsevierStyleSup">−2</span>), with no such incidence in lower weight ranges.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> This demonstrates that not all obese patients should receive the same treatment.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study provides us a guide for administering spinal anesthesia in the cesarean delivery of morbidly obese patients. If we decide to decrease the dose of local anesthesia compared to that of non-obese patients, this decision must be backed by a technique that allows flexibility in the duration of anesthesia, such as an epidural catheter. Decreasing the dose only increases the risk of failure of the spinal anesthesia and carries a subsequent risk of having to switch to general anesthesia in a patient with potentially difficult airways. The ED95 values (15<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg) can be interpreted as a mathematical extrapolation, and as such are not clinically reasonable or recommended. Therefore, in patients with unusual anthropometry, it is perfectly reasonable to use a technique that offers flexibility in anesthetic management and allows for a titrated dose, such as the combined spinal–epidural technique.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Funding</span><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors did not receive sponsorship to carry out this article.</p></span><span id="sec0035" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0095">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:8 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Objective of the study" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Study design" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Results" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Reviewers’ commentary" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Funding" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 7 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2015-06-19" "fechaAceptado" => "2016-02-07" "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "☆" "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="npar0005">Please cite this article as: Bastidas J, Kattan E, Lacassie HJ.
