Spinal Anesthesia Impact Factor

It is a local anesthetic that is injected into the patient's spinal cord, mostly in the subarachnoid space. This is accomplished by using a needle which can measure up to 9 cm in length. Spinal anesthesia is sometimes also called spinal analgesia, spinal block and subarachnoid block. In case the patient suffers from severe obesity, the length of the needle should be increased. For these cases, longer needles are already available in hospitals. Whatever the anesthetic agent (drug) used, the desired effect is to block the transmission of the afferent nerve signals from the peripheral nociceptors. Sensory signals from the site are blocked, eliminating pain. The degree of anesthesia depends on the amount and concentration of the local anesthetic used and the properties of the axon. The journal impact factor provides a quantitative evaluation tool for classifying, evaluating, sorting and comparing journals of a similar nature. It reflects the average number of citations of recent articles published in scientific and social science journals in a given year or period, and is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal in its field. It was first designed by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information. The impact factor of a journal is assessed by dividing the number of citations from the current year to source articles published in that journal in the previous two years.
