Dogliotti's principle
Dogliotti's Principle is a medical concept that pertains to the administration of anesthesia. It was developed by Italian anesthesiologist, Amedeo Dogliotti, and it is based on the principle that the level of spinal anesthesia can be controlled by the position of the patient.
History[edit | edit source]
Amedeo Dogliotti first proposed this principle in 1933. He suggested that the level of spinal anesthesia could be controlled by the position of the patient after the administration of the anesthetic. This principle has since been widely accepted and used in the field of anesthesiology.
Principle[edit | edit source]
Dogliotti's Principle states that the level of spinal anesthesia can be controlled by the position of the patient. This is because the anesthetic solution tends to flow towards the dependent parts of the subarachnoid space. Therefore, by changing the position of the patient, the anesthesiologist can control the level of anesthesia.
Application[edit | edit source]
In practice, Dogliotti's Principle is applied by having the patient in a sitting position during the administration of the anesthetic. After the anesthetic has been administered, the patient is then laid down. The level of anesthesia can be adjusted by changing the position of the patient.
