Technique considerations for implementing volumetric‐modulated arc therapy for total body irradiation within an Australian tertiary institution

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 165-172, March 2025.
In 2020, our institution transitioned to the Eclipse™ treatment planning system and to Truebeam® linear accelerators with 6 MV and 10 MV energies. The linear accelerators were installed in smaller bunkers that could not accommodate 400 cm FAD. A multidisciplinary team within the institution was created to evaluate existing total body irradiation ...

Spinal anaesthesia

Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine, 2018
Spinal anaesthesia involves the injection of local anaesthetic solution into the intrathecal space. It is a widely practiced anaesthetic technique that can provide surgical anaesthesia for procedures below the umbilicus. Due to the proximity of the central nervous system, safe practice is of paramount importance and requires a good understanding of ...

Spinal anaesthesia for spinal surgery

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2003
Spinal anaesthesia for spinal surgery is becoming increasingly more popular because this anaesthetic technique allows the patient to self-position and avoid neurological injury that may occur with prone positioning under general anaesthesia. Spinal anaesthesia reduces intraoperative surgical blood loss, improves perioperative haemodynamic stability and

Spinal anaesthesia in the neonate

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2010
Postoperative apnoea in ex-premature infants is inversely proportional to gestational age at birth and postmenstrual age (PMA). Spinal anaesthesia is an important technique in ex-premature infants as it reduces the risk of postoperative apnoea, provided intra-operative sedation is avoided.

Spinal anaesthesia

Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine, 2009
Spinal anaesthesia is the injection of local anaesthetic into the subarachnoid space. It is a simple technique that can be used to provide surgical anaesthesia for procedures involving the abdomen, pelvis and lower limbs. To perform the technique safely it is important to understand the physiology of the block and the pharmacology of the drugs commonly
