The spinal tap you're talking about is intraspinal anesthesia, not just epidural anesthesia but lumbar anesthesia and sacral anesthesia, and intraspinal anesthesia and general anesthesia are two different types of anesthesia, not just for babies and adults but also for spinal taps. General anesthesia relies mainly on a combination of intravenous and inhalation anesthesia, and sometimes infants may only need intravenous anesthesia, depending on the surgery.
