The document contains a 5 question quiz about spinal anesthesia. Question 1 asks about the artery of Adamkiewicz, which provides blood supply to the lower spinal cord and injury can cause anterior spinal artery syndrome. Question 2 asks if loss of resistance suggests reaching the epidural space, to which the answer is true. Question 3 presents two statements about bupivacaine use for epidurals in OB patients and increasing pH with sodium bicarbonate, with both statements being correct. Question 4 asks about complications of caudal anesthesia, with the answer being both seizure and cardiac arrest. Question 5 asks about absolute contraindications for epidurals except patient refusal.
