: Compared with general anesthesia , neuraxial anesthesia may reduce the 0-to-30-day mortality for patients undergoing a surgery with an intermediate-to-high cardiac risk ( level of evidence moderate ) .
BACKGROUND : This analysis summarized Cochrane review s that assess the effects of neuraxial anesthesia on perioperative rates of death , chest infections , and myocardial infa rct ion .
